Stoner to Seeker: the Photographs Ii: VOLUME II: INDIA TRAVELING ON THE 1970S INDIAN HIPPIE TRAIL HIPPIE KI YAY!

＂STONER TO SEEKER: PHOTOGRAPHS OF INDIA＂ India is the pot of gold at the end of the hippie rainbow Here you can lose or find yourself. You have absolute freedom: you can be transformed into a new spiritual being or be transfixed into a drooling, nodding off junkie. ＂Stoner To Seeker: The India Photographs＂ chronicles Indian life in the 1970s. I spent a year and a half traveling all over the Indian subcontinent recording lives, hopes, dreams, and sorrows. India is the most fascinating country in the world where religion, western consumer culture, communism and a traditional way of life are all competing for the soul of India. I was ＂a stranger in a strange land＂ and I tried to record that exoticism and awe in my photographs and with written words in my companion Journal. I arrived in India as a stoned freak (hippie-ki-yay) and through my experiences of interacting with students, merchants, intellectuals, sahhus and fellow freaks became a siddhartha, exploring religions, philosophies, and other worldliness approaches to life’s goals. This is my vision of India, a bright multi-colored prism of light as seen through a lens darkly.
