canvas and light - tent studies from ranthambore resort

we stayed in tents for our ranthambore trip - and these were no common tents, but quite luxurious - actually  fitted with room cooler, attached bath and toilet with hot water shower, and with their own little verandahs!

here are some pictures of the romantic tent.

                      

 

ranthambore in march - tiger reserve and an old fort

few weeks back i visited ranthambore with a tour organized by Art House. the tour was fantastic, the highlight for me was that we could meet some artisans who work with project "Dastkar Ranthambore" and could see them working on various products. and i could do two things which i was randomly day dreaming about since last year. one, i could go to parts of villages which are still the way villages used to be, and two, i made a little cup(kind of) on potter's wheel, at his home - this was my first hands-on with a potter's wheel. :)

but pictures of these adventures will come later, in this post i am going to share some from the ranthambore national park, which, interestingly, also has one of the oldest forts in india within its limit.


"indian tree pie" - thats what the local guide told me its name is!

beautiful blue breasted kingfishers

and a very pensive monkey...

TD's family portraits

here are my favorites from last weekend's portrait shoot.

i'm pretty pleased with the results, especially given the fact that i was total an hour and half in their home. let me know what you think and if there is any which you like more.
