These digital photographs were created during 2007 as I traveled throughout Northern and 
Southern India on two trips. In winter 2007, we accompanied participants on a 13-day 
program, ART AND CULTURE OF NORTHERN  INDIAN Study Tour that was co-sponsored by 
the College of Arts Humanities, the Division of Continuing and Global Education and the 
Fresno Art Museum. In summer, I had the opportunity to visit Bangalore, Mysore and Ooty in 
Southern India.. I view these images as a visual diary, book-marking moments of time and 
memories of people, places and things that have attracted my attention in this richly diverse 
and fascinating country.
