... I don&#8217;t even try to take pictures of Muslim women, burqas or not. But I take other portraits and pictures, and some of my work I find extremely satisfying. There are some portraits and lucky candid pictures that tell a story well, and fuel my desire for the next amazing shot.<br><br>I learned from my mother, a passionate photographer who started with an old box Brownie when she was 12 years old. I am perhaps more flighty than she, less professional, and my ...

... as a Ninja.....and I came as a Hijra (a transgendered person)...So I dawned a Sari (I paid $2 for it) and some bangles ($1)......and wore some make up and eye shadow.....don't forget the lipstick!!! It was very fun...Sara made her costume out of clothes that were packed, a black scarf, and construction paper!! Very impressive...i know if i am ever stranded somewhere, as long as Sara is with me, I can survive b/c she can make something out of nothing!! i met ...

... far: one missionary couple from Indiana working at the seminary and two young ladies (Rebekah and Stephanie) who are both assuming a similar role as I am. English is widely spoken throughout India and is the main language on our campus, but often times the locals' accents (from one of at least four different dialects/languages also spoken here) make it hard for me to fully understand them, but I'm getting better about hearing through the accents. I'm still horrible about ...

... voice that was not hitting the spot with me. Eventually we had to pay for 4 bags, because there was no reasoning with the .... (insert your expletive here) .<br> <br>Let me assure you, the violence ends here, even any implications of violence, or any further mention of it. We calmed down very soon after. The rain was pouring outside, and we were lounging about with the rest of the people waiting to catch a train, and then left via the front entrance. We were stopped by ...

... to change the world. Just being there for an hour allowing these boys to be kids and forget about their troubles felt amazing and may just change their world. <br><br>After today I just took a step back and almost had to pinch myself and just appreciate the life that I have and the family and friends I have around me. And I felt all of the things I thought I would feel, except they were all rolled into one and was just over whelming.

... Canary Wharf. Being a Sunday, there was a lot of people visiting, but they offer a family ticket for 200 R's (it's usually free) which enables you to jump the queues, and also get a kind of VIP treatment all the way round, and having seen the crush and queues at other temples, we decided it was best to choose this option. So you leave your shoes and your camera at the relevant place and then begin the walk, guided around by metal railings that make you feel like you ...

... posting. Instead of trying to fill you all in (which I will try to do later, bit by bit) sufice to say I'm in India, just north of Bangalore in a little village called Sahakaranagar (yeah, just try to pronounce that, really, I'd love to hear you try. Bridget has some sort of crazy abble-to-pronounce-anthing gene and I have been trying to learn from her). I am living with Lauren and Bridget in an oversized apartment with nothing in it. Where ...

"Pay attention to, and respect, fluctuations in my capacities" - Debi Corea The End of Nirvana Imagine being in a deep state of relaxation (let's say after a month-long meditation retreat in the most beautiful place on earth) and then, all the sudden, in a quick instant, you are dropped straight into hell; all your senses, instantly overloaded, switch into emergency mode and all that deep relaxation you just tasted is completely forgotten. All you can hear now is the loud ...
