During all my visits to Rajasthan since 2006, I have never seen such clouds. I should have sensed something then, looking back now it might have been an omen of the pandemic to come a week later. I’m just fortunate to have pointed the camera at the sky that afternoon. #kodaktrix #leicacm #ilfordmgfb #seleniumtone #zonevi The purpose of selling these portraits on #etsy is to support the social work being accomplished through my photography. Presently we have six sewing centers in two states of India, serving both the Hindu and the Muslim communities. In these sewing centers, young women learn a trade while also making clothing for their families. The centers are located in the rural areas, where young women have only one option normally, marriage and a family. At this moment, due to COVID-19, the work is on hold. However, we plan to restart the centers in 2022 and the funds from the sale of these portraits will be applied to the work in India. #india #indiapictures #landscapephotography #landscapefilmphotography #35mm #peraphotogallery #onfilm #onfilm #bnwmood #silvergelatineprint #darkroomprint #bnwphotography #darkroomphotography @kodak @leicacamerausa @simplyfilmmagazine @filmisnotdead @filmisculture @filmdiscovered @analogdrive @naturallight.mag (at Rajasthan) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChgdDy_Oz4p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

During my last visit to India the weather was much different than in previous years. Maybe we should have seen that as a sign of the upcoming pandemic, only a few weeks later. Regardless, we made the time on those foggy mornings to have dialogues with the local community and also document the hard work being done in the field during that month. This young man and his friends allowed us to photograph him as he worked hard cutting down the sugar cane for processing. #fujifilm #ga645 #ilforddelta100 #ilfordmgfb #seleniumtone #zonevi The purpose of selling these portraits on #etsy is to support the social work being accomplished through my photography.

For eight weeks of quarantine I was blessed enough to be hosted by my friend’s family. During the quarantine I was able to walk the land around the village. It was a time to reflect and pay even more attention to my surroundings, like these petals beneath my feet. #kodaktrix #leicacm #ilfordmgfb #seleniumtone #zonevi The purpose of selling these portraits on #etsy is to support the social work being accomplished through my photography.

This negative was exposed one week before the pandemic gripped the world in early 2020. This young girl’s school is a traditional Islamic school located in a rural village. She and her friends attend only the school and do not attend the government school. The headmaster is interested in expanding the education of his madrasa and has invited us to help in his noble endeavor. #kodaktrix #hasselblad #ilfordmgfb #seleniumtone #zonevi The purpose of selling these portraits on #etsy is to support the social work being accomplished through my photography.

In the north and northwest of India wheat reigns supreme, and my time during quarantine was spent walking around endless fields of this special crop. The roti made by my host family was made by the wheat which they grew in their own fields. This frame was exposed as I was documenting the harvest, as I looked down at the wheat collected as ominous clouds uncharacteristically appeared. #kodaktrix #leicacm #ilfordmgfb #seleniumtone #zonevi The purpose of selling these portraits on #etsy is to support the social work being accomplished through my photography.

During the quarantine of 2020, I was fortunate to have been hosted by a family living in rural Rajasthan. We were able to explore the area nearby and also collaborate with various construction projects, like the building of this dam. These young women worked 8 to 10 hours each day just to support their families. In one frame we can see the amount of earth that had been removed, which towers above their heads. They are my inspiration! #hasselblad #zeiss #ilforddelta100 #ilfordmgfb #seleniumtone #zonevi The purpose of selling these portraits on #etsy is to support the social work being accomplished through my photography.
