the man behind the lens

I know I owe the balance of my thoughts on India, not to mention Bali, but in the meantime, I was sorting through our photos the other night when I noticed a disproportionate amount of pictures of yours truly.  Me in front of the Taj Mahal, me zip-lining over Mehrangarh Fort, me posing pretty in front of various temples and tombs... Where are all the pictures of Aman?

By way of background, Aman has been pulling the laboring oar on this trip when it comes to photography.  He has some fancy Canon camera with regular and telephoto lenses, a tripod, and all other sorts of camera geek accessories.  I, on the other hand, have a Sony Bloggie.  (I didn't name it that, Sony did.)  It shoots reasonably well, but, the problem I have is trying to shoot the same subject as Aman.  I mean, I can't compete on such an uneven playing field.  So, maybe I have been a tad reluctant to pull old Bloggie out my bag when I see that Aman has the situation covered (admittedly, I sometimes forget to bring it with me altogether...).  When Bloggie is handy, it seems the only thing I shoot is Aman, shooting something else.  Our talented team photographer has been quite busy:
