“After completing a personal assignment for a friend in Mumbai, I set off for a two-week solo journey across India. While I considered myself fairly well traveled, I was not prepared for the emotional impact of what felt like an upside-down world. It was intense, and I’ve since returned once on a commercial assignment. I would love to go again. The image of a mother and child, taken in the Agra Fort not far from the Taj Mahal, captures the near-mystical quality of India and its beautiful people. The hookah-smoking holy man was found as is in the alleys of the golden city of Jaisalmer. Both were taken with a Leica film camera using Kodachrome.”
