In 2004, after an absence of almost 20 years, I’ve returned to India, to gladly write, another chapter of my truly visual karma. An itinerary beginning in Delhi, which after passing through Agra, Jaipur and Udaipur took me to one of the few places where I have never been in this Country, the city of Dharamsala, headquarters of the Tibetan government in exile and home to His Holiness The Dalai Lama.

I was very happy to see that XXI century India hasn’t lost the charm, identity, and everything else that made me fell in love since my first visit back in the Seventies. Of course, there was a noticeable increase in population and in the automobile fleet, cell phones and cyber cafes are already part of the landscape, as in many other places, but the way of being of its people, their customs, their friendliness and hospitality remain the same, strong as their faith.

Again, the Hasselblad Xpan was used and once again we feel the value of its contribution to the work. This equipment, very light and quiet, with its panoramic frame, allowed me to resume the subject in an entirely new way, more suitable to this country, a real overdose for the senses, a festival of colors, shapes, tastes and sounds.
