Inspiration

Man Feeding Flocks of Birds at Sunset in Yamuna Ghat, New Delhi, India

For @passionpassport‘s #PPCopycat challenge // I was drawn to Yamuna Ghat, New Delhi, because it holds a great deal of religious value in the Hindu religion, and I wanted to photograph the beauty I’d heard so much about. One morning, as I was watching a procession of believers make their way to the river, I noticed this man feeding a flock of migratory Siberian seagulls. He was rather far away, so I had to run and weave my way through a swarm of early morning devotees to get to him before the moment was lost. Thankfully, I made it just in time and pressed the shutter without even looking to see whether I was positioned correctly. As soon as the image appeared on my camera screen, I became aware of the energy of the scene before me. I immediately fell in love and stood still for a while, contemplating the delicate charm of Yamuna Ghat. This photo left me with the lingering thought of how beautiful a simple action directed toward another living creature, whether human or animal, can be.
