Rajasthan, India https://journals.worldnomads.com/celtcrazy/ Sun, 19 Apr 2026 15:41:55 GMT World Nomads Adventures Years ago, each month a yellow rectangular magazine clad in brown wrappings would arrive containing a passport to all the wonders of the world and beyond. Each Issue would transport me far away places where I would scale the roof tops of the world, ride in a camel train in the hot, dry deserts, scuba dive the oceans seaching for the lost treasure of long ago sailing ships. I would find new animals long thought extinct, break through jungles and forests to discover Machu Pichu's secrets and break open seals to forgotten Pharohs in the tombs of Egypt. I did all these things and never left my front porch. An uncle gave me a Kodak Insta-matic when I was six and the world opened up for me in ways I could not have imagained. Years passed and cameras changed but the passion for photography never lessened nor the urge to see the world. Then, one cold Feburary morning, I stepped off a jet into another world...Rajasthan India! I had one goal, to capture photographs just like the ones I had envied from that magazine. The smoggy, loud cities, the quiet peace of the desert, the beauty of so many colors that a box of 64 crayons couldnt describe..the smells and sounds were so intense it was overwhelming my senses. I decided to let my camera make the descions. A back alley cricket match in Delhi on Sunday morning. Grace as a swan, a dancer in the Thar desert. The Taj as seen in the early morning light.. The gentle push forward to step out into the world. Heading home after a long day shopping. A tourist, takes snapshots to prove they were there. A traveler, captures images for all the beauty or ugliness because that is life and all that remains. I am want to be the traveler. https://journals.worldnomads.com/celtcrazy/photos/23490/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry Travel Worldwide celtcrazy https://journals.worldnomads.com/celtcrazy/photos/23490/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/celtcrazy/photos/23490/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry Sun, 15 Aug 2010 02:12:00 GMT 0
