Harlow
This exhibition shows the viewer a slice of everyday life in New Delhi, India, as seen from the eyes of a volunteer. It aims to encourage
people to visit this amazing country and experience it for themselves while also giving a visual stimulating, sometimes thought-provoking,
treat for the armchair traveller.
The photographer focuses on the intriguing calm and tranquil way the people of Delhi go about their everyday lives amongst the chaos and
noise that surrounds them.
