A Voyeur in Tamil India

The novelette's protagonist is Colin Freeman, an American photographer from Appalachia. He is assigned to visually transmit images of the agony of a tragedy near Calcutta. Along the way the reader experiences the photographer's prurient interests, as well as some of his genuine knowledge of India's people and customs. All of the characters are college age or older. I think that readers will be interested in the manner in which the photographer's inhibitions drive his voyeurism. They may also venture to guess about the origins of his vicarious behavior. His expertise about vintage cameras is another topic of interest. It is certainly a popular hobby of many prospective readers and collectors.
