The beautiful, bright, yellow & cute TAXIS of Kolkata, India in photos.

“IN PHOTOS” is a series I will use to share many of the hundreds of photos I have taken during my travels. It is a series I have thought about for a while now, but did not want to start until I got back home from my trip. However after spending a week in Chefchaouen, Morocco I couldn’t wait any longer. “IN PHOTOS” will not have a set schedule like my “MUSIC MONDAY” or “PHOTO ROUND UP” series. “IN PHOTOS” will be a post with several photos with no limit. The only restriction this series will have is that it must be about a certain subject or theme. I will write a brief paragraph or sentence describing the subject or theme of the photos and then post the photos. I will not caption the photos like I do on my “PHOTO ROUND UP” with my thoughts. I want to use “IN PHOTOS” to share my photos and let you come up with your own thoughts about the images and hope you share them with me.

I have seen many TAXIS on this trip… in Panama City, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Istanbul, Cairo, but not once thought I would ever become obsessed with taking photos of them in any city. Okay maybe NYC, but seriously I arrived in Kolkata and it was love at 1st sight. These cabs are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen in the world. I mean really they are so damn bright, yellow, clean and cute. I couldn’t help but go crazy photographing them. I didn’t think I was going to ride one because I honestly didn’t want to deal with fighting over a fair price. On the last day though we pre-paid to have a TAXI take us to the airport and guess what kind of TAXI shows up. YES A BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT, YELLOW & CUTE one! It helps that they are so photogenic. I must have taken over 100 photos of just the TAXIS alone. I went through all my shots and picked my favorite to share with you. I’d like to know if you agree with me or not. I mean come on aren’t they cute?  I just love all the yellow in these photos.

  4. Love how vintage they look! For some reason I found the random blurry one charming. Almost like it was an accident. 🙂

    • Jaime Davila says:

      Ahh that is a good word. They are very VINTAGE… I loved them. Oh & yes that was an accident photo. For some reason I had my settings for night, and it wasn’t but it came out like that. I like it a lot.
