View from the gallery, Amber Palace, Jaipur, India, 2008

Centuries ago, the women of the royal court would peer through this window to see who was coming and going at the palace. It was forbidden for them to be seen by men. Today, tourists look at other tourists from that same window. I found the body language of these tourists to be very typical -- some hang on every word their guide speaks. Others tend to look elsewhere. And some like myself prefer to spend their time making photographs.
