To tease his younger sister, Ravi, 12, (right) is slapping Poonam, 10, sitting next to their mother Sanjita, 39, the family dog, and Jyoti, 11 (left) while sitting inside the family's newly built home in Oriya Basti, one of the water-affected colonies in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, near the abandoned Union Carbide (now DOW Chemical) industrial complex.

Sometimes a picture has the power to turn fate around:
In August 2009, I began visiting urban colonies in the city of Bhopal, central India, to document the severe illnesses faced by children as a result of contaminated water. As a consequence to the 1984 tragedy, around 100,000 people are now chronically ill from the effects of the gas leak, while tainted drinking water has affected thousands more.
Toxic waste – buried around the former factory – has penetrated the underground aquifers, harming the health of nearby dwellers. As a grim result, children are increasingly faced by severe disorders. Living with his family in a rundown shack made of bare soil and cow dung, one such victim is Sachin, now 20, and suffering from leg paralysis.
On a fateful day, during one of my regular visits to his home, heavy rain began to fall. His youngest sister, Poonam, then 6, was revelling in the rain to curb the scorching summer heat.
I started taking pictures immediately.
A frame from that propitious moment was later assigned numerous recognitions, including a 5000 USD grant from ‘The Photographers Giving Back Awards’ - in Sweden - to implement a long-term plan for the wellbeing of Poonam, 11 in 2014, and designed to assist her family overcome extreme poverty.
Born ‘unlucky’, with a tiny sixth toe on each foot, her father superstitiously believed she brought misfortune upon their lives.
Today, Poonam dreams of becoming a teacher, like the ones practicing in her small private school, a short walk away from the family’s newly-built home – made of solid bricks. Along with her sister Jyoti, 12, she regularly attends lessons. (Year 5 Elementary in 2014-2015)
I have witnessed the passion that is moving this family along, and how a single possibility for change was able to spark in them such a vibrant enthusiasm for life.
Poonam’s fairytale is far from over: time after time, I intend to witness her blossoming into a teenager, an emancipated woman, and later into a loving wife and mother.
Part of the event was a series of Burlesque performers doing a variety of striptease acts.

She wanted that thing so bad, and we had to take so many shots to get this one. Eventually we just kind of lucked out and got this one.
This little guy was teasing me. He let me get close, so I kept thinking I had a chance of a good picture, but then he would jump around quickly in poorly lit areas. I think he must have known how difficult it is to get a good photo of him. After 30 minutes of chasing this same bird, I eventually got 2 ok shots with the help of my 580 EXII + light diffuser.
I have more pics to upload from the Nashville trip, but wanted to post a teaser...making a xmas present for a couple of friends.
I made my second visit to the Texas Renaissance Festival (TRF) in November 2011 - what a blast! The TRF is huge, very spread out, with so many shows and performers to check out. Another very enjoyable part of the TRF is just watching the cast members and faces in the crowd - some many people come in costume - and about 99.9% let me take their photos - what a nice bunch!
I hope to be there again in 2012 for more good shooting.
The "after" picture of my Grandmas pictures!
I dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing, but I couldn't tease all my hair.
I swear, when it was popular, girls must have needed help!

There was that girl I used to know
She'd tease me about my name
Fan the embers long enough
I sometimes catch her flame
The soothing voice of distance tells me
That was just a fling
Other music fills my ears
But I still hear her sing :
She sings :
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Don't you remember me ?
How long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Don't you remember me ?
How long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go free....

Eight. Years. Of. Consecutive. Daily. Self-Portraits. ?!#@£!
As usual...
* 27th of February 2015 to 26th of February 2016.
* No missed days.
* Jack and I bought our first flat together (!!!) and are super happy nesting in it together right now. He's perfect and my hero, so that's awesome on a thousand levels or so...
* I'm working sporadic shifts for the same company as I did last year, but I'm now studying to become a midwife (!!!) which is amazing and difficult and wonderful and I mostly don't shut up about it, so it might be best not to get me started..?
Big thanks as usual to everyone who has starred in, or helped with photographs, and favourited/commented/looked at my face for such a ridiculously long time. Whoop!
... Year 10 doesn't seem like such a long shot anymore. Ha.
