It all started when two friends, who I had been on photography trips with before, decided they would go to India... and that I needed to come with them........
I had no interest in India and what's more no real desire to visit..... but the thought of having another adventure with friends was exciting and the tour leader, Karl Grobl, I had experienced in Cambodia and knew I would be challenged and learn.
So with little real enthusiasm I head for 14 days and a tour following the Pashka Camel Fair.
How mistaken was I - a country full of vibrance and colour, a juxtaposition of ancient and modern, a culture which can at times be confronting but at others a wonderful backdrop to the stage of life.
I had not expected to feel such a connection with the people and their story
