Since October 2003, I have done social work in the north Indian state of  Jammu & Kashmir.  Unfortunately, the most important experiences were often too subtle and complex for me to convey through a website.  This site contains >>500 photographs, whose highlights have been condensed into 5, strongly recommended Flash slideshows.  Please enjoy the site!
