Not a Girl, Not yet a Woman - A Photo Essay

After a gap of about a year, I finally had my camera fully functional again. I was itching to take pictures. I was in Goa, a paradise for people looking for subjects. Yet I was drawn to a subject, or rather a model, who has remained my favourite over time - my sister. As I looked at her through the lenses, I realised with a start that my baby sister had actually grown up quite a bit. Looking at her, I was reminded of a song which was very famous when I was still an adolescent in school (though I profess I do not like Britney or pop songs much). That is the inspiration behind the title of this photo essay. Here's presenting various emotions and moods of a teen-aged girl over one day.














Presenting my sister.






















At her fashionable best. Ready for a day of fun and frolic. Summer is here.


















A flower seller catches her eye. She buys herself a garland of bright orange wild flowers.

















The flowers are indeed very bright and eye catching. Good accessory.





















"Makes me look rather like a Hula dancer doesn't it?"






















The rain has stopped finally it seems.

















A young touch among building built more than two centuries back.

















Lighting a candle.





















In deep prayers.





















The beach is where she belongs.





















The sea stretches out endless behind her.

















A candid, quiet moment. Deep thoughts through her mind.


















A fun moment at the end of the day.
