The Old Photo in Kanataka village people

The small village of Kudle, in the state of Karnataka, was unknown by westerners when I arrived there in -87. I made friends with some of the local people and learned to speak some of the local language Kannata.

When I returned to Kudle during the next few years I gave to my new indian friends photos which I had taken during the previous trips.

Some of the farmers had never before seen a photo of themselves. Today Kudle is a well known resort for budget travellers from the west.
