I’m traveling at the moment in Rajasthan with Joel and Kate. I won’t be near the Internet much for several days. Enjoy preset blog posts.

Darjeeling domestic
I like photos of the domestic, the everyday, the routine. I love the details.
It’s no spectacular photo, but it comes from a street in Ghoom, a little town outside Darjeeling.
