Pushkar
I’ve been devouring so much amazing photography lately courtesy of websites like Burn and Verve Photo, and some of what I have seen and read has encouraged me go back to old images to reassess my initial edits.
Pushkar is a small town in Rajasthan, India. I ended up going there twice in my time in India; first, when we went through and spent a night there towards the end of the rickshaw run, and then again once on my own when I had my motorbike.
Both times I was there, the town was abuzz with celebration. During the first visit it was Ganeshotsav (the festival of Ganesha), which we had no prior knowledge of or planning for (a common theme of the entire trip), so we couldn’t believe our luck to be there for the festivities.
Taking photos in these situations is about as thrilling as photography gets for me. There was just so much excitement and energy that it was impossible to not get whipped into a frenzy along with the revellers.
Some of the photos here have been posted before but most have never really seen the light of day. It’s hard to go back to photos that I once decided weren’t quite good enough and now say that ‘I like them’, but it feels like there are at least a few that were worth the second glance.
