Rajasthan - India's Colorful State

Having read Paul Scott's "Jewel in the Crown" many years ago I have always wanted to visit Rajasthan. Late in 2009 I had the opportunity and fell in love with this colorful state in India. We traveled around for about three weeks to all the major cities including Pushkar during their annual camel fair or Mela and to Bundi during their Bundi Festival.

The show will run from June 5 to July 5, 2010.

For over thirty-five years I have been working at black and white photography. Trained at the International Center of Photography and the New York Institute of Photography I am constantly trying to improve my skills as a B&W printer and my eye for photographs. 
My previous career, took me far and wide around the world, presenting me with many wonderful opportunities for photography. My goal now is to now devote all my time to photography and travel.

As can be seen by the photos on this site I love taking pictures of people. When photographing people my objective is to catch glimmers of each person's inner strength and beauty. I have more recently moved into photographing and processing digitally and have discovered a new world of color.
