My first Indian sunset, I was hooked. This was my second day in Kerala India, and we ended it like this? How could I not be hooked?!?!?
We wrapped up the the day by watching the sunset at The Leela Kovalam hotel, we had tea (Coffee here not much of a tea drinker) and appetizers while watching this incredible sunset. The Hotel is amazing and we were treated like royalty. Part of me just wanted to stay there for a month and watch the sunset every night from this incredible pool – just picture it a drink in hand, good friends, this pool and this sunset… Yessss!!!
If you ever make it there, tell them the KeralaBlogExpress looneys sent you, you will get the Royal Treatment, I promise.

Free India Lightroom Preset for Street photography. Click Here to Download.
Good afternoon and happy Saturday people (Sunday to my Indian Peeps). As you know I just got back from a fantastic trip to Kerala India, I came back a changed man, so many stories, so many experiences, so many photos, but most importantly, so many new friends, some that will be in my life until the day I die. I am so grateful and lucky to have gotten the opportunity to go on this trip with so many talented, incredible people. I am forever thankful.
I have so many photos that I will be sharing with you. I will also be releasing a new series from this trip soon, so I think I’ll kick this off by giving you a Lightroom Preset that I made to edit this series. (watch the video where I tell you why I chose to use color and how to upload the preset)
I shot these photos the first day I was there, I was very green to India and a bit timid, I wasn’t sure how people were going to react. I quickly learned that people in India are more friendly than most places I have been to. I love shooting street photography, especially in India, its so fun and the people have so much character. Please drop me a line on the comments below :)

Kerala India
First week in Kerala India has been amazing, where do I start? I feel really fortunate and honored to be here. I am with the coolest group of people in a really amazing place. Check out keralablogexpress.com to meet everyone.
As soon as I got here I fell in love with the people, they are so nice, always smiling always hanging out, the women are beautiful, and the kids are just so cool. Everybody is so welcoming and their smiles are contagious. I think in order to understand a place or even start to like it you must first like the people, in this case I love everyone here.
I have always heard about this place, nothing I say will do Kerala any justice, you just have to put it on your bucket list and come check it out…

Good morning people, I woke up kind of in a rush, I just realized I leave for India tomorrow and I have nothing ready. I while back I posted on my FB a link to Kerala Blog Express to be sent to India and blog about it for 3 weeks. I got some votes, not a lot but some. (I discovered this thing 3 days before voting was over) (thank you to everyone that voted) Luckily it wasn’t just about votes, and as it turns out Kerala Tourism picked me to be one of the bloggers for this trip, and I am really exited :)
Immediately after I got the email, I applied for my Visa, and it took a while but it finally got approved. After that I purchased all my flights and I am now fully ready to get out of here for a few and go check out India. (besides packing) For the next 3 weeks I will be blogging and posting more often than usual. Please don’t get annoyed I will try to only post really cool photos :) You can follow my twitter feed @edinchavez and #keralablogepxress to see what I am up to over there. I will also be posting on my Facebook and of course here.
I have also added a translator to the blog, if you look at the top right hand side you can see a translator so you can pick your language (I will be adding more soon) and all this madness will be translated.
Here is the Keralas announcement to the world.
