The Land Time Forgot.... Kerala, India 2011

Dozing dog, not Dead dog.

Modestly Closed.

Joseph obviously didn't look hard enough.

Jesus is a busy man - he does office security.

The newspaper cuttings show the many followers who have come and prayed at the shrine.

I loved the amazing mishmash of religions that Kerala embraces. The vibrant colours of the churches alongside the shrines and the heavy swell in the air of the call to prayer.

Definately Gods' Place.. whomever she/he God may be. Harmony in spirit and colour.

ALTERNATIVE FASHION WEEK - 2010 sad that it is not happening this year.

Family that are The House Of Blueeyes.

Shower'n Shave... shuktara, Kolkata India

while the boys danced and sang in the rain, the cyclone ripped up trees hurling them into the roads...

A day before their summer trip to Puri, the barber came to shave the boys. I was called to watch my camera a must! A rebirth. Clean. Fresh. New...

So thank you for allowing me to intrude with my camera but I know you did all enjoy the show!

Models.. all of you! ;) x

shuktara

"Shuktara was started in 1999 by UK-born David Earp after a visit to India. He was moved by the plight of the disabled street children he met there.

Many of the boys and girls who have come to live at Shuktara were abandoned or orphaned as young children surviving terrible hardships and discrimination of living on the streets and begging for scraps of food.

Because of their disabilities, they were written off as incapable of learning, developing as individuals or integrating into society. Their personalities and their potential were ignored.

The difference that a few years or even a few months at Shuktara makes is astounding. The boys and girls grow in every sense - physically, in confidence, in skills, in communication. Their personalities blossom, they begin to come to terms with their disabilities and to fulfil their academic potential."
