Sitting down peacefully and having time to take photographs is not always a possibility in the non stop hecticness that is India. Im this case we were lucky to be welcomed into a families courtyard to watch and learn as the daily chapatis, or flat bread, was made.

Knowing that I would want to take this opportunity to sit and take lots of photographs, my brother made sure I got a front row seat. It was a joy to be able to snap away at what was happening before me; to make sure I got the colour of the people and the wall made of cow poo. I waited for the circular chapatis to mirror the circular dishes; for the woman to smile and for the child to do what children do best; daydream. Then snap!
