[Leica] Manali - Photographs

[jayanand at gmail.com (Jayanand Govindaraj)]

Richard,
Thanks for looking. I usually ask for permission before I take the
photograph, then wait a bit if possible, and then start photographing.
As I mentioned once before, I will not photograph the destitute
anywhere in the world.
Cheers
Jayanand
