Finished editing all the photos from the Amritsar trip and thought I’d share just one of many to be posted once I finish compositing the entry.
For now, here’s a Sikh child getting all excited when he realizes there’s fish in the water! As a matter of fact, someone should have captured a photo when I spotted an actual Koi swimming around! The Golden Temple is simply beautiful structure on it’s own but it comes alive when being reflected by the sacred pool of the Harminder Sahib.

Jaisalmer “the Golden City” located in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan furthest west reaches. We arrived to the smallest station I’ve seen during the trip, just one track, a dead end and nothing but sand to show for. On the way to the hotel we met a lovely couple named Kim and Jason from the United States. The connected was instant, both sharing our the knowledge of traveling the globe gave a chance to learn off each other. As we arrived at the guesthouse, as a group we decided to booked our camel tip together for tomorrow.
Mel and I took separate ways in exploring the city today. The thing about Jaisalmer is, it’s a small desert city known best for it’s silver, camel leather/bone designs. Everything leather, wallets, bags, books, footwear, etc, it’s all made here. The city is comprised of two really famous attractions, the fort which towers over the town and the beautiful sandstone mansions of the Havelis. The Havelis were build in 1885 by rich merchants with intricate detail carvings right into the sandstone – for more info about them visit here. The city is also split into three sectors; outer wall, inner wall and the fortress itself. The outer wall is made up of all local shops/vendors and by venturing out further, it gets you away from the touristy spots. The inner walls are made of a lot of the hotels, stores and tourist safe dinning. The fort is a lot like the inner walls but built within the narrow paths of the fortress. You get lots of shopping to choose from, but don’t worry about the sellers, they aren’t as pushy as for example Agra or other major cities.

One couple, five bridesmaids, five groomsmen, two ceremonies and 16 hours of epicness – all packed into one full and eventful day.
The gorgeous Suman and handsome Mario hosted a fun-filled wedding with the culture and colours of India and elegance and charm of Italy.
Congratulations to the both of you and enjoy the honeymoon!

If there was a couple who would climb the highest mountain, in the snowiest weather and fight off a snow leopard for a good photo, it would be these two. Photo was taken near the Beach House in West Vancouver’s Dundarave area.

What first started off as prompt Mother’s day trip to Iona Beach in Richmond, quickly turned into an unexpected family photoshoot. The weather couldn’t have been any better, with easily one of the best days of the start of summer. Pretty sure next time I drop by into my parents one of these will be up on the wall. Happy Mother’s Day Mom!

One of my favourite destinations in Radjestan was the beautiful, peaceful, and exquisite Udaipur. I’ve compiled a two day journal in Udaipur into one blog entry – Enjoy.
Arrived really early that morning from an uncomfortable and cold train ride from Jaipur. Only thing on my mind after stepping off was only to jump into a hot shower. I remember this part o’so clearly because I remember using up all the hot water at the hotel that morning; boy did it fell good up until the water ran cold. Followed by a free breakfast provided by the lovely hotel stay, I wasted no time and took advantage of the early morning to start the day.

Sanaz Irani was chosen to apply for Miss Canada 2010 this year. As she scrambled to get her portfolio together, I sponsored her by capturing photos of her. Here’s just two from the shoot I’ve decided to post while I keep the rest a secret for now.
Stay tuned for more in the near future.
