Varanasi - India 2003

I spent a week in Varanasi at the end of September 2003 and these are a selection of the pictures I took. I walked around in the Old Town (Godaulia), visited a fort and a village on the opposite bank of the Ganges and took a river boat one early morning. The camera used is a Minolta 505si. Pictures have been edited with Photoshop, but content has not been manipulated.

Breathtaking pictues of a most unique place

beautiful shots! i have a lot of the same ones!! i was there in march 04 and was really overwhelmed by all the colours. so beautiful! i went alone and felt a little too much attention was paid to me ( and i am REALLY low key) but it was a beautiful place nonetheless. i totally recommend going with a friend and not alone.

I love these shots, you do a wonderful job capturing the essense of this outrageous place. I've spent a little time there a long time ago and hope to go again next year. Your shots have inspired me to make it happen. Cheers, Lisa

Claude,

this time I stayed for about 7 weeks from the end of September to the middle of November. I still have to post galleries for Sikkim, Orissa and the Pushkar Camel Fair as soon as they are scanned in. Next time I will go digital.

Monique,
je hebt veel bijgeleerd in de fotografie. Je foto's hebben nu (in tegenstelling tot enekele jaren geleden, een hoog artistiek gehalte. Ferm!

Your portraits are magnificant. You have an eye for color and composition. I am bookmarking you as one of my "favorite artists" so that I can come back and look somemore.
