 The Elephant Festival is one of the most popular festivals in Jaipur and takes place at the famous Chaugan Stadium in March. It begins with a beautiful procession of bedecked elephants, camels, horses, and folk dancers. The mahouts proudly embellish their elephants with vibrant colors, jhools (saddle cloth), and heavy jewelry.

 During the frenzy of the days leading up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup final won by Spain, I came across these "aficionado" players, who are enjoying a game in a stubborn field that found its place in the midst of the dense city of Barcelona.

 I wanted to capture this picture to show the viewer the beautiful detail and color of the bride and groom's attire. Despite the fact that it rained heavily on their wedding day their spirits weren't dampened.

 Thai fishermen prepare a net for night fishing. I jumped on the boat, clicked, said thanks, and I think it came out not bad.
