Moving on up...

So the news is that I'm moving to Africa soon, and I've been consolidating my internet holdings recently. So from now on I'll be posting photos over at jamestravels.com under the title everMoment.

Enjoy!

James

Muscle Man

An Indian orphan shows off his physique, but more importantly his hope and humor.

Kodak moment, India

An Indian family poses at the Qutab Minar, Delhi, India.

Rickshaw portrait

Steve, as seen in the rearview mirror of a New Delhi rickshaw.

Lighting for the other half

A chandelier in the Raffles Hotel, Singapore.

Sunrise in Singapore

This, let me tell you, is the only way to finish a red eye flight.

Unrequired Thanks

Tom gets a colorful thank you that he says he doesn't deserve. The locals felt otherwise.

Taking it home with you

Steve carries a minaret from the Taj like an Olympic torch.

Cricket.

Cricket is the primary entertainment of orphans at the Emmanuel Mission Orphanage in Kota, India. 2005.

Guarding History

A guard attempts to avoid boredom at the Qutab Minar in Delhi, Inida. 2005.

Hole in the Dike

Sunrise breaks through the clouds that lay below us one morning at 11,000ft.

Monkeys.

Mohare

The sun falls behind trees and thin, swirling clouds in Nepal.

Into the Light

Steve walks into a golden sunset after descending from the snow covered Khopra.

Good Facilities, Great View

The campground of Khopra at 12,500 ft. in the Himalayas. No dining hall ever offered a better vista.

Reflection of Ages

A woman in a sari leads her son in front of the Taj Mahal. Seen in one of the Taj's reflecting pools.

Day's End

Sunset over the Taj Mahal complex. 2005.

Alone

A Lake Away

They've all lost their white marbles

The storied Taj Mahal. I'm not much of a sightseer, but this is one sight that I wouldn't mind seeing again.

Modern Workhorses of the World

Ukrainian (Soviet) Truck, near Poltava

As if the engine weren't loud enough

Nepali truck, Road to Pokhara

Town Hall

It seemed that most of the population of this little hillside hamlet came out to see us. You can see Robin in the background testing our long-distance wireless connection. In a world where electricity is scarce, the Internet may as well be sorcery.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you

World, meet Taross. Taross, world.

Taross is, was, claimed to be, a Ukrainian boxer with ties to the Russian mafia. He had recently been in jail and upon being released had gotten involved in a wildly charismatic church in Kiev. He would follow Tom and I around for hours telling semi-coherent stories that included the word 'brother' more than any three other words combined. I'll never know whether or not he was on drugs.
