Photography: Work
The main reason for the existence of Royal Trading is so that Pakistani community can work, make a living, and send money to families back home. There’s always work being done when I go there. And there’s always time for chai. Royal Tradingという会社は、在日のパキスタン人たちがパキスタンに残っている家族の家計を支えるためにあります。なので、毎回訪問すると色々な方々が働いています。その中にチャイタイムももちろんあります。

Photography: Kiran

Before his untimely death he had […]

A 5 minute drive down the road even takes you to a small restaurant where the only clientele (apart from me) are from […]

India: Haridwar Station Portraits
I added these to Flickr a few weeks ago but have decided to add them here too. These portraits were all taken at Haridwar Station in northern India in December last year. I’d like to return sometime soon and make this a more in-depth project and longterm project. かなり前に下の写真をFlickrに載せましたが、ブログでも載せることにしました。全てが北インドのHaridwar駅で去年の12月に撮影しました。近い内にもう一度インドに行って、そしてもっと深くて、長期間で撮影してみたい。

Photography: Active in Society
One of the things I have noticed during my time on the refugee/asylum seeker project is the clear division between people who actively try to engage in society and those that shy away from it. There are of course numerous reasons for this, most noticebly language problems, boredom, and paranoia. But it goes without saying […]
