Welcome. This is where I share my work and also the work of others, those that inspire me, the weird, the great, the unusual.
It is a goddamn marvel this life. Take a look.

Delhi | The Family Living in the Tree
I was walking through the chaotic streets and met a family living in a tree on a tiny strip of grass in the middle of a busy intersection.
