Black&whites

We've been back in the US for a couple weeks now, and India feels very far away. Things we're loving: avocados, In-N-Out, sushi, the ability to wear shorts. Seeing family and friends. Drinking water straight from the tap! Nice wine!

Here are some of the black and white photos that didn't make it into the book. They're in no particular order!
