Adventures in Old Delhi

This weekend I dragged two friends with me to Old Delhi. I wanted to take pictures for my photography class but didn't want to go alone...there are lots of people there and I didn't want to be harassed. Actually no one paid us much of any attention which was a pleasant surprise. I got some good shots, and my friend got a picture of me looking at my camera and a guy looking over my shoulder at the camera too...I had taken a picture of the flowers he was selling and he wanted to see how it came out.
Our trip wasn't very long due to the rain (man my feet were soooo dirty after just an hour; Old Delhi + open toed shoes + rain = a mess) but I got a great shot of one of the stores in Old Delhi. I've talked before about how stores are just soooo tiny and absolutely cramped full of things; last night I went to the store in my local market to buy cleaning supplies for my maid and the little helper boy hopped up on his ladder to climb up and get them for me. I'm always amazed at how much they have in this little 6 foot by 6 foot store but it goes up about 20 feet so there is lots stacked up there.
Anyway...here is the photo of a little shop, along with the 4 very bored looking people that work in it.
