One of the frustrating aspects of this job is that assignments are always too short. That certainly was the case when I was asked to shoot location stills in Tamil Nadu for Feast Magazine's April issue (sorry, print only for now). Traveling to a new place I feel like I'm just getting in the groove when it's time to pack up and head home. 8 days in Chennai, Kariakudi and Madurai just wasn't enough. Still I have plenty of visual souvenirs until that time I'm lucky enough to get a call back.
