The Rickshaw Riders

So this weekend Gangtok was flooded with over 175 white people here for the start of the Rickshaw Run, a ‘charity adventure’ of sorts that has them traveling in three-wheeled auto-rickshaws from Gangtok all the way (3500 km) to Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. I had a great time covering the event, with all these interesting characters to talk to. I’ll post my coverage later this week, but I was so excited at some of the people shots I took in the crowd that I wanted to get them up first.

Above the Tarp

They had all these tarps up over MG Marg a couple weeks back, as part of the Pang Lhabsol festival. Most were more colorful than this, thankfully. Watching the tarps get taken down later was a delightful little scene.

I have been told I tie my shoes like a child

Pictured above is, according to Anupa, the correct and adult way to tie one’s shoes, and more comfortable besides. Okay.

Blurry things are beautiful

I seriously never get tired of taking pictures of monks. Never.

Possibly one of the best photos I’ve ever taken

Tribal faith healers parading past Tibetan prayer wheels to the Pang Lhabsol celebration at Ravangla’s famous volleyball court. Pang Lhabsol is a three day Bhutia festival worshiping Mount Kanchanjunga. We used this shot on the cover of Tuesday’s edition of NOW.
