India

I believe that most of the adjectives in the English language can be used to define or describe India. Anyone who attempts to talk about India as a country is sure to fail. India is much more than a country and used to be called 'the Indian Sub-Continent', back when Pakistan and Bangladesh were still part of a territory claimed to be controlled by the British.

A country inhabited by hundreds of millions, with so many different religions, Gods for everything and everybody and an incredible caste system. Food as hot as it is colourful, a geography that goes from the top of the world to vast plaines and incredible riches to revolting poverty; you will either love or hate India. No other country I have ever visited is as rich in culture and colour as India, and if one makes the effort to get of the beaten track and stay in India for several months at a time, you will be guaranteed an incredible adventure.

I traveled many times to India, from the high altitude deserts of Laddack, in the Himalayas in the North, to the green plaines of the deep South. From the desert of the Rajasthan in the West, to the water logged flatland in the East. India has never ceased to deliver a fantastic field for me and my camera.

If you look carefully at the photographs, you will be able to smell the most fantastic, powerful, colourful, most diverse country in the world, where one of the greatest men who ever lived was born: the master of non-violence: Mahatma Gandhi (Nobel peace price)
