It was our privilage to run into Mr. Fateh Singh Rathore, the Grand Old Man of Ranthambhore while on a safari in the National Park. No single person has made such invaluable contributions to the Ranthambhore National Park as Mr. Rathore. Joining Ranthabhore in 1960 when it was still the private hunting ground of the Royal Family of Jaipur, Rathore rose to be the Director of the Ranthambhore National Park and the guiding spirit behind the success of Project Tiger in this National heritage. He is the founder of Tiger Watch and is the Honorary Warden of the National Park.

Ying…Yang. There’s a profound difference between the calming silence of cold morning photographing thousand year old rocks where the only break in the silence is the steady slap of a shutter, and a muggy morning where the only break in constant teenage chatter is the jarring scream of a tardy bell. Both have there moments, but it shouldn’t take you long to guess where I’d rather be. Most people would love to be in my position, as I count down the 24 workdays until my long summer break, when I can shoot whenever I want. It’s always a trying time though. There’s a line from Batman the Dark Knight (heavy I know but hang with me!) where a character says, “It’s always darkest just before the dawn”, and that’s where I am right now, in the dark. Exhausted from finishing my first triathlon, lack of sleep from being at work long before the sun comes up, planning prom, and rallies, shooting senior portraits, helping with student council elections, moving to a new classroom over a weekend, running our poetry slam, field trips to San Francisco, helping run graduation, rallies, debate projects…. there’s a lot going on. It’s dark. …but I see the light.
I’ll be seeing these rocks again before too long, this arch, …in new ways… I see the light.

Bhagat Singh became a popular folk hero after his death. Jawaharlal Nehru wrote about him: "Bhagat Singh did not become popular because of his act of terrorism but because he seemed to vindicate, for the moment, the honour of Lala Lajpat Rai, and through him of the nation. He became a symbol; the act was forgotten, the symbol remained, and within a few months each town and village of the Punjab, and to a lesser extent in the rest of northern India, resounded with his name." In still later years, Singh, an atheist and socialist in life, won admirers in India from among a political spectrum that included both communists and right-wing Hindu nationalists. Although many of Singh's associates, as well as many Indian anti-colonial revolutionaries, were also involved in daring acts and were either executed or died violent deaths, few came to be lionised in popular art and literature to the same extent as Singh.
To have worked with, a truly inspiring artist who has seen generations evolve through photography.

I met Man Singh in the baking deserts of Western Rajasthan. In this part of the world, its almost impossible to see another person for kms on end (which is a remarkable thing for India). Life here is extremely tough and Man Singh lives off his treasured precious livestock
Me : Why don't you move to the cities, life will be easier?
Man Singh : I don't think I will be able to survive there...because it will be very easy!
Never seen such love for the land and surroundings.
Rohtas Fort (Urdu: قلعہ روہتاس Qila Rohtas) is a historical garrison fort located near the city of Jhelum in Punjab, Pakistan. It was built by Raja Todar Mal, under the orders of the Afghan king Sher Shah Suri, to subdue the rebellious tribes of the northern Punjab region, in the 16th century. This fort is about 4 km in circumference. The Rohtas fort was built to crush the local tribes of Potohar, who rebelled against the Sur dynasty after the Mughal emperor Humayun was ousted by the former.
It took eight years to built the fort, it was captured by Mughal emperor Humayun in 1555.[1] Nadir Shah, the Turkic ruler of Persia, Afghan ruler Ahmed Shah Abdali and the Maratha army also camped here during their respective campaigns in the Punjab region. Rohtas was also occasionally used for administrative purposes by the Sikh ruler Ranjit Singh after he captured it in 1825.
Qila Rohtas is a garrison fort and could hold a force of up to 30,000 men. Due to its location, massive walls, trap gates and 3 Baolis (stepped wells) it could withstand a major siege although it was never besieged.
Most of the fort was built with ashlar stones collected from its surrounding villages such as Tarraki village. Some parts of the fort were built with bricks.
The fort is irregular in shape and follows the contours of the hill it was constructed on. The fort is exactly 5.2 km in circumference. A 533 metre long wall divides the citadel (for the Chieftain) from other parts of the fort.
The fortification has 68 bastions (towers) at irregular intervals. Out of the 3 Baolis, one of them is in the citadel and the rest are in the other parts of the fort. One of the Gates (Langar Khani) opens into the citadel and is a trap gate because it is in the direct line of fire of the bastions.
The Khwas Khani gate is an example of double walling. A small enclave on the western side is a citadel within a citadel. It is accessible by only one gate and also had a very fine Baoli which suggests that it was meant for the Chief and his family. In this citadel there is a beautiful Mosque called the Shahi Mosque (Not to be confused with the one in Lahore). There are no palaces in the Fort except for a structure built by Raja Man Singh called the Haveli of Man Singh. It is built on the highest point of the citadel.

I have been shooting with Jarrod Mosier for 3 years now and have constantly in his photographic shadow. Talent and a nice assortment of Singh-Ray neutral density filters is what has separated us. Today the gap closes a bit. I got 5 filters in the mail today from Ray and I am a step closer to Jarrod. These are 5 of the shots that I got of tonight's sunset with my new filters.
I had my photo done by Strawberry Singh, I love the way they came out.
