India is Everything

In late 2005, I spent 16 days in Northern India. I visited New Delhi, Varanasi, Khajuharo, Agra, Jaipur, Jodphur, Pushkar, and Amritsar. I prefer to let the photographs do most of the speaking. I'll just say that for me, India is exhilarating and exhausting. India is chaotic and calm. India is sensory overload. India is complex. India is diverse. India is everything.

Please take some time and view these photographs. If you are so moved, I encourage you to leave comments about the gallery in general, or about particular photographs. And please vote for it if you feel compelled to do so.

Please note: feel free to e-mail me if you are interested in downloads or prints for personal use or publication.

Special thanks to two other Pbase photographers whose images of India inspired me a great deal: Claude Renault, and Maciej Dakowicz. I highly recommend their work to anyone interested in India. I am grateful to Peter Malakoff, who greatly informed my understanding of Varanasi and Manikarnika Ghat through his website--www.petermalakoff.com.

Good Pics.....a great perspective!
Steve I am particularly interested in the photo titled "Making paper by hand, Salim's Paper, Sanganer".............we deal in handmade, fair trade products and will like to include this powerful photograph to my presentation , explaing the human aspect of the handmade paper.

Thank You

Thank you,, Steve for this wonderful, encyclopedic tour of India. Your images are outstanding. Such a diversity of color.
I couldn't help but notice that from gallery 20 on, you shot with an LC1. Those images were, to my eye, noticably sharper, cleaner and more delicate than the previous. Please don't take this as criticism...just my personal observation and feeling! Thanks again for a wonderful tour.

Thank you for sending me to India on a short tour, forever I can relive my own contact to it, EVERYTHING! Beautiful photos. I was looking for photos of decorated trucks as I want to put such decorations on the front of my shop of Indian handcrafts in Iceland. Thank you.

You have very interesting pictures here. There is something "ageless" or "timelessness" in the people's faces and the surroundings.

Well, we met you in almost every city we visited in India.... certainly a very interesting twist of fate. Looking at these great phots brings us right back to that time and place, with the abundance of life in every shot. Cheers, Melanie & Andrew (BC, Canada)

Its amazing Steve. The poetic mind can capture the real truth of life in India. A very few people can enter the soul of India . One is yours.

What a Fantastic Gallery. You said it,.."India Is Everything".
Dan Chusid10-Jan-2006 04:29
Sometimes, the images that SHOULD get seen, don't.
Your gallery deserves much more exposure and you might think
about listing it in the Forums here.
Good work Steve!
