Gujarat. India. I asked if I could photograph the beautiful clothing of these shy young women....they had made these traditional outfits themselves...and they wore this style daily. Rural, desert Gujarat. J'ai rencontré ces deux jeunes femmes dans un petit "café" au milieu du désert dans les régions rurales du Gujarat, en Inde. Elles portaient ces vêtements magnifiques et traditionnels qu'elles avaient elles-mêmes cousus. C'est leur style vestimentaire quotidien......... lourdement brodé et splendide

Chamba is an ancient Hindu kingdom in far North West Himachal Pradesh, India. It is remote, and very interesting. The narrow cobbled streets are lined with these ancient walls...as behind these young men. You can see the actual skeletons and architecture of the old buildings in their ancient layers.
