The hike had me puffing, but by the end of the afternoon the light was perfect. I climbed down to the bottom of the scene in order to make this image of the arch all on its own. In order to do so, two hours were spent and exposures were made in between people walking up to make selfies with the arch. It did give me time to reflect on this special place however, and I am eternally grateful for that. I do hope to return one day soon, and see it again before I pass on.
The purpose of selling these prints on Etsy is to support the social work being accomplished through my photography. Presently we have six sewing centers in two states of India, serving both the Hindu and the Muslim communities. In these sewing centers, young women learn a trade while also making clothing for their families. The centers are located in the rural areas, where young women have only one option normally, marriage and a family. At this moment, due to COVID-19, the work is on hold. However, we plan to restart the centers in 2022 and the funds from the sale of these portraits will be applied to the work in India.
