India is a place I have always wanted to travel to but there was always a different option to travel somewhere else and the time was never right.
Tomorrow I am flying to, by some estimates, one of the fastest growing cities in Asia; Delhi. I am fascinated to explore some of the intense development that has been occurring here in the last decade with a plan to then move east and learn about some of the regions that have fuelled this development in the industrial towns of Dhanbad and Bokaro. On the way I will hopefully encounter the holy city of Varanasi and the great Taj Mahal and stay respectful and sensitive. Sometimes that card be hard given the violence of photography but as long as respect is forefront in your mind I think it can be done.
This is the first real trip that I have done that is entirely about photography so all that's left is for me to get into that meditative state and wander the Indian streets.
