April 2018 ... “When a bicycle is there, I think everything can be possible.” —Barbara Lungu There is still such a long way to go in terms of equity for all peoples but the means to get greater access to education, healthcare and employment is a start. Happy World Bike Day! #worldbikeday #india #varanasi #bikeforknowledge #travelphotography #travelbybike #streetphotography #streetsofindia

April 2018 ... Earth Day! No pictures of stunning scenery .. no epic mountain, lake or ocean. Instead a reminder to me that nature is not a place I visit. It is integral to all areas of my world, wherever I am ... and that it is awe inspiring and 'magical', from its smallest to its biggest forms! #earthday #smallest #mouse #stilllife #incredibleindia #india #varanasi #oneworld #cheeky
April 2018 ... Dogs! Everywhere dogs! Big, small, brown, black and white. Not the pampered pooches I think of in Europe. Rangy, mangy hounds who are constantly scrounging around for food and starved of love and attention. So I give them that. The little I can do for so many. #varanasi #india #dogs #incredibleindia #spi_bnw
March 2018 ... Religious depictions are everywhere. Gods and goddesses can be found in temples but equally on public walls, on streets, on houses, stickers on motorbikes .. alongside the ghats and the river the large expanse of bricks and morter is too tempting not to paint a 12foot high Shiva or Ganga. #painting #god #goddess #publicart #india #varanasi #incredibleindia
March 2018 ... Monkey see, monkey do! In the case of where I am staying what they see are people eating or the remnants of food and they sneek or charge depending on their current inclination. I've realised the level of fear and the discomfort that I used to hear in people when they said 'I'm afraid of dogs'. I'm afraid of the monkeys ... I don't want to be scratched or bitten, I don't understand them and I don't know how to behave around them. Unsurprisingly they know it! To the point of being teased by 'teenage' monkeys as I cross the stairs! They swat my legs as I pass, I try not to but start to scurry along faster! They leap with legendary agility onto the banisters and hiss at me, bearing teeth. I resort to using my bag as a shield, forgetting I have fruit in there. Monkey lunges forward, wants the fruit and I automatically counter this with lunging back. No fear? Ha! After a few rounds of this I've worked around to my door, shot the bolt and darted inside. The adrenaline wobbles then start in my knees. To feel fear of an animal is a new and unplesant experience. #monkey #grafitti #grafittiart #throughawindow #window #varanasi #india #incredibleindia #framing
April 2018 ... In a break from my norm I spent the day in black and white, a strangely peaceful place away from the riots of colour that can assail one in India. After making this switch I noticed myself becoming calmer and more positively assertive, more aware of light and shadow and of thinking more creatively. I associate the use of black and white to 'real artists and photographers' not myself but I believe this to be a case of 'become what you think' ... well damn it, I am an artist! Nb ... Cow was fine and relaxed ... monkey was outside, it was me behind bars ... children were hilarious, excited and overjoyed with the photos! #streetphotography #varanasi #storiesofindia #streetsofindia #findingmyvoice #spicollective #blacknwhite #photo_of_the_day #100dayproject #100daysportraitsandprose #blacknwhite #blacknwhitephoto #lensculturestreets #life_is_street #photooftheday #streetphoto_bw #lensculture #streetlife #bnw_life #bnwmood #bnw_photography #amateurs_bnw #bnw_portrait #portrait #bnw_greatshots

March 2018 ... Benares. "Here religious feeling reigns supreme ... they come into unconscious contact with each other but only appear to heed the river, the sun and the splendour of the morning in a dream of ecstacy".
