Teacher and Student, Sewing Center, Virat Nagar, Rajasthan, India, 2020


2020 was like another world, and I hope that this community is safe during these difficult days. Soon we hope that the centers can reopen and that they can make more beautiful clothing for their families and learn a valuable trade at the same time. In this picture stand the teacher and her student, on the rooftop which once did not exist when we first began our photography in 2006. Amazing how photography has documented the changes my eyes have witnessed over the years.

Bird + Me, Virat Nagar, Rajasthan, India, 2020


This was a mentally exhausting yet exhilarating week in Virat Nagar, truly where my photography realized its societal obligations. On this afternoon however the bird was the subject, and a most patient one as I switched from one camera to another. This was the setting for my quarantine experience in India, and thankfully I had a beautiful place to stay during this extended time.

Note: Thanks to Nami Gujjar for this image and his kindness in these difficult times.

Four Birds + Four Wires, Rajasthan, India, 2020


This was Day 2 in a police enforced quarantine while in India, thankfully in my friend's village rather than the hospital. After much negotiation this was my view on that evening, rather than four walls and a small window. The quarantine will soon hopefully end, all the while being able to walk freely with an array of the most beautiful birds all around me. While human photography is less possible right now, I'm just in love with birds on wires.

Farmer + Field, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2020


Thanks to David from Dodge-Chrome, Inc. for processing all of my film from this most important year. This past visit to India was my first time in over a decade that a 35mm camera was taken with me, and the results have confirmed my faith in this beautiful format. Soon to be in the darkroom printing this!
