A mad, keen photographer needs to get out into the world
and work and make mistakes.

"Jaisalmer is a city in Rajasthan, India. It is sometimes referred to by the epithet "The Golden City". It lies in the heart of the Thar Desert, and has a population of about 78,000 (2004 ?). Its strategic position along the camel routes of trading Indian and Asian merchants once made it into a prosperous oasis. When Mumbai grew into an important harbour city, Jaisalmer lost its importance as a merchant city. When the country was divided in 1947, trading through Pakistan was stopped, and along with serious drought, the story about Jaisalmer was about to end. However, the skirmishes between India and Pakistan proved Jaisalmer to have a strategic position. The Rajasthan Canal revived the desert. Roads and railroads were built, bringing the city together with the rest of Rajasthan". Source: Wikipedia.
