You have absolute freedom: you can be transformed into a new spiritual being or be transfixed into a drooling, nodding off junkie. \"Stoner To Seeker: The India Photographs\" chronicles Indian life in the 1970s. I spent a year and a half traveling all over the Indian subcontinent recording lives, hopes, dreams, and sorrows. India is the most fascinating country in the world where religion, western consumer culture, communism and a traditional way of life are all competing for the soul of India. I was \"a stranger in a strange land\" and I tried to record that exoticism and awe in my photographs and with written words in my companion Journal. I arrived in India as a stoned freak (hippie-ki-yay) and through my experiences of interacting with students, merchants, intellectuals, sahhus and fellow freaks became a siddhartha, exploring religions, philosophies, and other worldliness approaches to life's goals. This is my vision of India, a bright multi-colored prism of light as seen through a lens darkly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377754603743,"sku":"9781669867272","price":81.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/ntQeOXqEqG9781669867272.webp?v=1789240103"},{"product_id":"stoner-to-seeker-the-photographs-volume-1-bangladesh-nepal-paperback","title":"Stoner to Seeker: The Photographs: Volume 1: Bangladesh \u0026 Nepal - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eSTONER TO SEEKER: VOLUME I: THE PHOTOGRAHS is my impression of two of the most fascinating countries in Asia. Bangladesh is a brand-new country and I was there just a few months after they won their hard fought independence from Pakistan. I have photographed students, small businessmen, fishermen and villagers showing how they realize their hopes and dreams for this verdant paradise. Kathmandu, Nepal is the last stop on the overland Hippie Trail from Europe to Asia. What we found was a medieval country and it is the people, places and way of life of this mystical land that I recorded with my camera. I have documented a time, the 1970s, before the all-pervading Western culture, the Economic Miracle and the geo-political revolutions changed Asia irrevocably.
