With photography i l like to take people shots

I am interested in most religions , i have a strong leaning towards Buddhism.but can see merit in all religions.

I have been travelling since the early 70,s as depicted by some of my earlier photos.

I try to be as accurrate as i can in the labellling of photos .Some of my photos are not labelled if you know the name of the site i would appreciate you in e-mailing me ,also if i have misspelt a site.

To my special friends thank you for taking the time to reply to a message after a photo is given permission to use i do believe if more people travelled talked to other people of different faiths and and took the time to talk to them we would be a better world

I do sell my photos do not steal them if you wish to know more about a particular photo e-mail me i now no longer give permission to use my photos unless i can see merit in doing so

Some of my very early photos have lost their colour excuse this as they are nearly 30 years old

As it is mostly people interested in photography / travel who would read my profile let me reccommend a site i have found called Panraven which allows you to make books of your photos on line great fun mine is under pjwar if you want to see all more of my photos search pjwar once you are on the flickr site
