MAHESHWAR INDIA – A dreaded travel day – most of the day was spent traveling the full width of the Indiian subcontinent to Calcutta, our next stop. I managed to shot the parapet of the tower where we did our morning yoga before leaving. Not much going on.

MANDU INDIA – Mandu is a ruined city of lakes and pavilions about an hour’s drive from Maheshwar built in the early Fifteenth Century and abandoned in the early period of the Mughal Empire at the beginning of the Sixteenth Century. There were vast, complex waterworks which are dry today, at least in the non-rainy season.

Later in the day we attended the music festival at Ahilya Fort which is owned by this area’s Maharaja, Richard Holkar, who had an American mother and was educated in America.

Day 3049 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life. This is one of those days when it was hard to get down to one.

DELHI INDIA – I spent the night here after a 14 hour flight from Newark, getting some rest before joining Maria and friends in Maheshwar, a small town three hours drive from Indore, which I’ll be flying to tomorrow morning. At Maheshwar we’ll be staying at the ancient Ahilya Fort on the Narnada River and attending an Indian classical music festival. This is out the window of the airport Hyatt.

On this day five years ago (day 1221): Straight up in the dark. The fact that day 1221 is a palindrome is the only interesting thing that’s happened in my whole history of shooting on February 17. Looking up at night, hand held.
