I’ve cried more in the last 30 days than I have all year. I underestimated how challenging this trip would be. Not just the part where I’m in India, there is so much more to it than that. I miss fresh vegetables, being able to go places by myself, and most of all, the beauty that is silence. haha.. The best part of my day is hanging out with my students and talking photography with them. They can’t get enough. Our theme one week was “love”. We asked them what they loved and all of their answers were family, god and friends. We talked about how that is expressed and photographed. When we sent the camera’s home with them, most of them brought back images of their moms, grandmothers and siblings. I’ve really loved getting to know their personalities and quirks, to see what they respond to and laugh at, and how they love and care for their families and friends.
This place is chaos, this place is dirty, it is confusing, it’s noisy (think fireworks and car horns even through the night)
