Children in the street behind the hotel in Mandawa. At last I can edit my work and increase the contrast a little (the pictures off the camera card are too flat) since I have a power supply for my small computer. I love street photography and India is a wonderful place for this.

Just below the hotel is a river lined with small sack tents along its bank. River children (name given by the hotel staff) live in them. They move around in groups and beg for food during the day. I gave them coconut and watermelon in the evening. Their poverty tugs at my heart.

I am a great fan of Walker Evans and the work he was doing in Cuba in the 1930s. This place and my photographs reminds me of his work. It is so so different to working in NZ and both places have totally different challenges for me. NZ is such a guarded and suspicious society effected by political correctness, yet feels very safe. This place is very open, free and accepting, yet with an element of danger. Anything goes here and people live for the moment, it appears. Certainly there is no PCness here, which I enjoy. Dogs run free, narrow roads become five lanes and the police carry long canes to control excited students.

One day in Rajasthan. This is such an interesting place and the people are so excepting of the camera. The children love looking at the LCD screen and pose again. At last I have found an internet cafe without a que but all the letters are worn off the key board. I will have to edit when I can but this is a small collection from today.
