Happy Republic Day



Tomorrow is Republic Day, a national day to celebrate the signing of the constitution. Big national holidays, lots of parades and marching bands.

I have started a new photo essay called "The things people try to sell you while stopped at traffic lights". I'll need to work on the name... everything here is acronymed so TTPTTSYWSATL isn't cutting it. Here are my first two installations. The first is a guy selling the Indian flag for Republic Day. It comes with double sided tape on the bottom so you can mount it on your dashboard. The next picture will be the cover to my TTPTTSYWSATL book. Fairly appropriate don't ya think? Usually these guys are selling books like, Da Vinci Code or The World is Flat or anything by Salmon Rushdie. Bizarrly good books.

I feel obligated to buy the objects in order to take the pictures so to date I own Indian flags and a book about how to sell anything to anybody but it's clear to me that I will end up a with a massive collection of crap and that this could turn into an expensive hobby! They do sell a bizarre collection of things though so it should be fun.
