SOUTH INDIA: A TRAVEL WITH CHALLENGES
2011
In Spring 2011, I collaborated with people to capture, and interpret, their unique ideas during my month-long trip through Southern India. I asked each person to present me with a photographic project.
The purpose was to awaken in myself, and others, curiosity that is often buried in life’s routine. I wanted to connect with people, allow them to connect with me, and present something that manifested that connection.
18 ideas have been interpreted for this series.
Each project presented a different challenge in both direction and interpretation, and each project pushed me to delve deeper into myself and into the country.
