Girnar Hill (outside Junagadh)

Girnar hill is ten thousand steps to the top. I left my shoes at the top and somebody stole them. Then I walked a few thousand steps down the mountain like a barefoot Hindu pilgrim. Then I found them. Somebody just left them on the stairs.

On a mountain in Than

Baba on his head. A man once stood on his head for 12 years in Than.
We slept overnight at the monastery in Than. No one spoke any English except the wisecracking holy man who kept saying "no bus." Which was supposed to be a joke, but turned out to be true. We rode home hanging off the side of some guy's tractor. Everybody who saw us waved and had a good laugh.

Babas of the past.




This is a picture of a man holding a picture of himself.

Portraits in Kutch villages

The car that took us there.
A mud house.
Family portaits.
When I get home, I'm sending my pictures by mail to the people in the pictures.










The "Prag Mahal" in Bhuj

In time for Halloween, these are pictures of a crumbling mansion of the British Raj era. This might be the creepiest place I've ever seen.
This is me taking a picture of a stuffed cat.
