Sandra Martin's photos from India

Sunset on the Lake— Udaipur's Lake Palace is famously beautiful, but the buildings on the shore are just as stunning, glowing yellow as the sun sets.

Sun Drying— Long plain white sheets are washed and then dried in the sun by being hung several meters off the ground at the Sakshi block printing factory in Sanganer, a town outside of Jaipur in the northern state of Rajasthan. There are many textile businesses here, but few remain chemical free and traditional like this one.

Making Breakfast Chapatis— My host mother for two days in the desert village Keeta makes breakfast in her kitchen for me and her children. Afterwards she goes to the front room of the small house where she teaches preschool to many kids including her own daughter.

A Bit of Everything— Indian Cuisine Elective instructor Naveen Shah tastes the dishes the class prepared for the final test, which involved planning and cooking an entire meal, and then eating it!
