Incredible India (in Deutschland)

Last week one of V's colleagues set up a meeting titled Incredible India to share stories, pictures, videos and experiences of his 5 weeks trip to India. What made it an extremely interesting few hours was the amount of preparation he put into it.
He had organized Chai, Indian snacks, juice etc...
He himself wore a tee with Ganesha and some sanskrit script on it....
He had a story to tell for each of his chosen pictures...

Unlike many 'westerners' who are appalled by the poverty and contrasts in India, he had a different perspective to his captures. He had made the effort to interact with the local people to learn more about what he saw and experienced.

Its always interesting to see what a "foreigner" captures - things that each of us take for granted in our own country(ies).

I also felt it was a great idea to gather people and share these images...a nice new "digital" experience. Ive always wondered what (all) can be done with the volume of photographs resulting from digital photography.
What do you do with your digital photographs?
