What we have here is a Minimalist Photograph of an Old House Door Bell with Long Shadow on Textured White Wall


I captured this shot somewhere near Nandpuri Jaipur.

I remember I was on my Scooter and I had my helmet on while I snapped this. 

Actually, its a little risky clicking pictures of houses in broad daylight. People spot you easily and then they turn up to fight with you. 

So, I have devised this strategy to hang the camera in my neck while I ride the scooter with the helmet on, so that no one recognizes me when I snap a picture right outside their house.

Even If they spot me sometimes, because I am on my scooter, I quickly disappear ;)

I think I had talked about this shooting style in my earlier posts. 

Its Peak summer in Jaipur now and I like summer months to click such shots.

During hot summer afternoons, I can click these shots more easily as everyone is indoors protecting themselves from the heat. Mind you, the temperatures here go up-to 45 degrees. 

I don't mind the temperatures as such. Anything for Photography ;)

I decided to snap this Old House Bell because this invokes an emotional response as a subject. You know what I mean.

Other motivating elements were:

a) the White Textured Wall and 

b) the Long Shadow Underneath.

Hope you enjoyed the shot.

Thank You
