About a year and a half ago I made a decision to use my abilities in photography to try and make a difference in the lives of people around me. Shortly thereafter I began planning a photographic expedition to Northern India with my good friend David DuChemin of Pixelated Image.
After a year of contacting East Indian travel agents, hoteliers, and local friends we were ready to head out. To bring a personal element to the journey I got in touch with World Vision and signed up to sponsor a child in the slums of North Delhi.
Three weeks of trekking through the mega-city of Delhi, Agra of Taj Mahal fame, Jodhpur on the edge of the Rajisthan Desert, the holy city of Varanasi on the banks of the Ganges, and visiting my sponsor child, Shiv Kumar, in the slums of North Delhi has resulted in my having several gigs of image files. With the focus of the trip being humanitarian in nature, I have decided to host an exhibition and fundraiser to raise money for the development work being done by World Vision in the same slums where my sponsor child is from. I invite you to attend the one-day only event: Colour & Texture: Portraits of India.
