What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.
Hari Om As far as the ashram is concerned, I was one of three encouraged to take photos for promotion and magazine. I had an official 'pass' to wear for these functions. The crowds entering our premises did so with the knowledge that there would be film and photography taking place. With regard to my fellow students and the running of the place, I of course always asked but was never refused - particularly where full portraits were taken. Yxx
it's great...and I love how much people are on the street even in the evening... an uncommon imagination in our awful time now... but good to remember how it was once...
Moving from NZ to UK I couldn't get past the impression that possibly or even probably every square foot of that land had at some stage come under the direct influence of humans, been changed in some way by their activities on it. The images you share here give me that same feeling of an environment carefully controlled, gardened, trimmed, swept, edged, painted; of nothing keft to chance. It's only a zelection of photos I know, and maybe the 'wild' bit is immediatrly behind you. Xxx F
Ah, the joy of festivals. Even in our small, country school the yearly Halloween Carnival was so exciting! i don't get nearly that excited about things these days. namaste, janice xx
A question, Yam, did you have to get permission to take the photos? Just curious! I love them. Such a life.

The pictures teem with life. So many bodies, so much movement, so many activities!
ReplyDeleteBusy and peaceful combined in one frame!

I really like the crowd scenes! And that second photo speaks to me and I would like to sit there and just listen to the quiet
ReplyDeleteA nice glimpse of life in the ashram both quiet and bustling.
