India (December, 2016) – My impression of Amber Fort is muddled with opposing views; the opposition due to the hordes of noisy tourists and unrelenting hawkers trying to sell useless trinkets from China.  While trying to avoid calamity; I amused myself watching one of the caretakers surveying the ruckus from her side perch. 

Canada (February, 2021) – It's been a rather chaotic time period, most of the world is in some kind of lockdown. Here the winter freeze has elongated the sense of isolation. A melancholic feeling has been permeating my spirit; knowing almost a year has passed without any real escape from the reality which presents itself. Over the last couple days; I find myself inspired by the icicles dripping in the mid-afternoon sun, blissfully ignoring that which does not bring peace.

France (October, 2015) – I spent the afternoon absorbing an unfamiliar scene, with a familiar giant. Our destination; a long awaited biennial of photographs situation along the banks of the Seine. I was in aerial spirits, cherishing the beautiful fall weather and enthusiasm for all things Photoquai. 

India (December, 2016) – Despite the ongoing construction at Do Drul Chorten; our observation transported us to blissful repose, to heightened admiration and appreciation. What amused me more than watching the circus acts involved in climbing the makeshift bamboo scaffolding, were the shadow puppets being cast on the upper elevation from the craftsmen and their tools.
