Like a lot of people, I’ve been shaken by hearing of #AnthonyBourdain’s death (not least as someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression my whole life). But he was also one of the masters of #travel: able to go to off the beaten track places and present them on their own terms, without exoticisizing them or essentializing them through a western gaze. It’s something I try to do myself, although I’m probably not as good at it as he was. I also remember my excitement when I came back from #Uzbekistan a few years ago and discovered he’d done a show there. This was one of the best meals I had in the country, at a community tourism venue in the hills between #Bukhara and #Samarkand, shared with the people who cooked it. #food #travel #foodphotography #travelphotography #exploretheworld #plov #rice #centralasia #ozbekiston #table #meal #warm #welcome
Sometimes I like going back through my photo roll and seeing what’s there. This is an oldie: Humayun’s Tomb, Delhi, 2003. This carved stone is about half a metre high. #travel #india #delhi #humayunstomb #agakhanfoundation #akdn #agakhantrustforculture #mughal #mughalarchitecture #islamicart #islamicarchitecture #star #geometry #pattern #red #green #bokeh #travelphotography #exploretheworld
My sister in law, nephew, and cat (who thinks he’s invisible).
My nephew got to ride a pig! Well, a concrete pig. And he was kind of scared of it.
