coup de foudre - third time lucky

The day waned. The afternoon got hotter. She just couldn't keep her hands off the hat. Nor could I, off the shutter. They missed me at the shoot that day.

coup de foudre - part deux

She smiles. And I fumble with the exposure to capture the change in light.

coup de foudre - the first time

From the archives. A couple of months back. Just back from Jaipur. The Bombay chapter of the shoot begins. It's 40 degrees in the shade. I take refuge in the cold, trailer van. That's when I see her.

My camera liked her just as much as I did.
