How could anyone say no to these three?

It’s no secrete how much I love Hampi, India, as I can’t say enough good things about this small little village.  I stayed there long enough to get to know some of the families there.  I even put in a full days hard work in an banana plantation (somewhat), I chilled on the beautiful rocks and even partied away with some of the locals.  To me Hampi is a place I loved getting lost in.

One day a local man invited me a friend to lunch at his house.  He said his wife wanted to cook us a special meal and for me you never say no to free food, it’s rule #1 when traveling!  When we finally found his home the three girls in the photo above came running up to us and insisted we take their photograph.  I snapped a few shots as I couldn’t say no to them.  I showed them the LCD screen on the back of the camera and they just giggled while tugging at each others arm every time I changed the photo.

The kids in Hampi were some of the best in all of India but I did have to watch out for large groups of them because sometimes they got out of hand with excitement.  Click here to know what I mean but in the end I have nothing but fond memories of Hampi and I can’t wait to go back someday!

    Hey Troy, I like the naughtiness in the smile of the girl in the middle.. was the light so harsh that 2 of them had to screw up their eyes?
    few more questions.. which lens? does the 24-70 give you such creamy background or is it the post processing? 
    A little too desaturated for my liking but the subjects are great!
