Why I am not taking enough pictures

By my standards I should be taking 1000+ pictures a day here in Hyderabad. But I have only taken 300-400 pictures after 4 days.

The first reason is that I don’t have enough time to go to places and get to know people and take pictures of them in their daily life. I don’t want just shoot people from distance with a long telephoto lens. I rather capture people in dignifying way and have a story to go with the pictures to put it in proper context. And that take time and leg work which I don’t have right now.

The other reason is that I am too focused in trying to find out what it would mean to live here and what the standard of living of people like me is. I have spent most of my time at Microsoft office talking to people. Inside the building is no different that our buildings back in Redmond. However the view out of building is pretty amazing. I will take some pictures of that today.
