Bonjour Claude Merci pour les commentaires, mais je crois que je suis encore loin du niveau que je vois ici, en particulier ces superbes galeries indiennes. Mais je travaille...

Hello Claude, It is so wonderful to be able to see your trip documented like this and posted periodically here. I guess it is not an easy route and I know it is too hot now there, but you definitely are taking the best pictures from India I have ever seen. Hope everything will go smooth for the rest of your trip and I wish you good luck for it! Take care Maria

Claude, An awesome body of work. You have revealed a glimpse into the soul of India with a grace and passion that is very inspiring. I feel enriched; thank you for sharing your passionate vision. Cheers

Claude, your galllery is a pure joy to look at... It's like having India right at my home. Love your Varanasi shots - did you know that Varanasi is quite famous for wrestling? I saw men, young and old, practicing near the ghats and I think it would also be a nice photo opportunity for you to explore (if you're still in Varanasi, that's it). Take care, joanna

Uday Khambadkone		06-Jun-2004 21:35
Liked all of them, they all had a story telling approach which is my fav. too One comment I wanted to share was I felt most of the shots were very tight, it could have been better. Good job overall. Keep Shooting!

Todd Skinner		06-Jun-2004 02:33
What a wonderful gallery - you definitely have the eye for framing timeless photo's.

Yves Rubin		05-Jun-2004 08:37

Hi Claude, you have a lot of wonderful picture here! I�m really happy you give me this link, now it�s in my favourite ;) Your shots are all very intense and significant , but maybe I have a preference for the � Young intouchable� , I love that image! Have a nice journey! Alessandra

Hi Claude, First of all, good to see that you are doing well. I'm sure you are having some great food too, besides a good time and taking great pictures ;) The pictures are all very beautifull Claude. There are some i preffer, like "Uttarkashi - Kid cleaning". That one just made me smile. "Bijnor-cremation-vue. & Bijnor-cremation" are especially great as a pair since they awake strong emotions. Hard to pic a favorite here Claude, all great. Continue to have a safe trip and don't be a stranger. Best regards Zandra

Hey Claude, liked 2 pics immensely. 1. the man meditating for last 4 year pic.. and 2. the Neelkantha mahadev temple pic. The meditating man pic is real good. Lovely clear expressions. So where are you today? Anything exotic you ate or some real interesting experience ?? Ciao.. Sandeep
