Ali White's photos in India and Taiwan

First Photo: Benaras at Sunrise. Photographer: Alicia White.
Date: February 2008.
I like this photo because Benaras, like this picture, demands a closer look. In India, there is always so much happening, so many details, and yet it comes together to make something whole and unique, haunting and beautiful. This was taken one morning at sunrise on the holy river Ganga-Ji in Benaras (Varanasi), India. I took this while on CRC.
Second Photo: Statue of the Goddess Abrakabackpack. Photographer: Alicia White. Date: October 2007. This is a beautiful statue I found in Taiwan during CRC. We couldn't pronounce her name in Chinese, though we tried, so we ended up dubbing her Goddess Abrakabackpack- I'm not sure why, but such is the lunacy CRC induces in otherwise earnest world citizens!
