I have been a traveler all of my life and a photographer for most of it. I learned that taking pictures is different from what I thought it was. Returning from a trip, I often make presentations and the question most often asked by the audience is, "What kind of camera do you use."

I haunt the walled lanes of far away villages, hang out in markets and bazaars, walk clockwise in a kora of prayer-spinning old ladies, earning my points from the gods and the spirits that frequent this monastery or that. I eat with the truckies, the farmers, the monks. My bearing relaxed, camera always at hand, pointing, its long lens inhibiting, always questioning: who are you, who are you? Then I stop, a face holds me, I try not...
