He once asked me for advice: “People ask who I am, how do I answer with more agility?” I loved the way this question was phrased. “Chinese/Canadian” I suggested, though there is so much more to Bo than just that. He could just as fairly answer “Criminal Psychologist, eclectic individual, lover of all things quality, adventurous spirit, inherently, self-admittedly lazy; obsessed with leather, cameras and convenient food…” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/a6f8875f-6d3e-41f3-98ce-90d04e38e706/chinese-tourist-coca-cola-nikon-gopro-south-africa-portrait-red.jpg Blog - Good Morning Cape Town - Make it stand out …And Coke Zero. Never have I seen a man live on Coke Zero and instant ramen alone. Bo travelled in a Land Rover he bought from me into the unfamiliar territory of the deserts of Namibia with vast quantities of these two supplies alone. I feel this photo is aptly staged. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/c12ac786-a99b-4531-a1da-15835a7bce63/taxi-robot-traffic-light-quantum-toyota-photography-cape-town.jpg Blog -

Good Morning Ayodhya - Make it stand out There is this characteristic scene I remember in the mornings in Ayodhya along the Saryu River where the Kans grass would light up with the backlit sun. I took a boat ride to a stand-alone mud bank to get close for this photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/ad43532f-2d37-4a91-b176-38de700c2f04/india-varanasi-morning-light-rooster-film-photography-kodak-analog-silouette-rooster.jpg Blog - Good Morning Ayodhya - Make it stand out Golden hour seemed to last forever here.

It usually started before I was up. My host started his pilgrimage to the river at 3:30 am, a 2km walk, for his daily dip; meditating his way there in a repetitive prayer guided by the 108 beads of his mala which had a satin sheen from years of use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/564d2b7b-a198-466d-971b-87aaf8676236/morning-street-scene-ayodhya-temple-worship-spiritual-religious-morning-prayer-film-photo.jpg Blog - Good Morning Ayodhya - Make it stand out I explored from the moment there was enough light, absorbing the unmistakable feeling of devotion in the morning rituals around me. Ayodhya is historically the kingdom of Rama. This is the Raj Dwar Mandir, the royal gateway leading to the ancient palace grounds of King Dasharatha and Lord Rama. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/d80d6497-e7a0-47de-8d3a-0974d2d26026/boy-street-scene-indian-serious-depth-of-field-kodak-color-film-photography.jpg Blog - Good Morning Ayodhya - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/d3c1cdb2-1045-433f-9483-abc602bf1e5d/boy-smiling-street-scene-morning-light-ayodhya-local-photography-kodak-film.jpg Blog - Good Morning Ayodhya - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/bc74f460-6515-4abe-899d-2ee5a32d8230/men-dressing-for-work-india-street-scene-shop-front-natural-light-work-day-kodak-film.jpg Blog - Good Morning Ayodhya - Make it stand out After prayer, signs of the working world began to emerge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/fe7a1c44-1041-4e4e-979f-2cb4538c8f1d/rama-kingdom-ayodhya-india-portrait-photography-sharp-kodak-film-resolution-ektachrome-scan-image.jpg Blog - Good Morning Ayodhya - Make it stand out I was welcomed even into the most private of worship spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/0c653e7d-513f-4162-acd0-63fce3928641/squint-eye-man-india-temple-face-paint-lines-portrait-kodak-film-photography.jpg Blog - Good Morning Ayodhya - Make it stand out I made hundreds of portraits, mostly allowing the light to choose the subjects.

Ganga, or ‘Ganges’, as it’s known in the west, is to some far more than a body of water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/7cea250e-2f00-4439-a1e6-086a30b6741f/man-film-print-floating-river-ganga-mother-ganges-varanasi-ghat-swimming-photography.jpg Blog - Exploring Mother Ganga - Make it stand out Many know Ganga as a living embodiment of divine grace, cosmic purity and maternal compassion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/fc9a1956-c258-4952-9f82-ea5ceea5060a/varanasi-river-sunset-kodak-film-overexposure-reflection-blue-mist-haze.jpg Blog - Exploring Mother Ganga - Make it stand out Mythologically, Ganga was a celestial river residing in the heavens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/2c55720c-bf65-455b-b2de-f59c3e2c3312/morning-prayer-swimming-river-ganga-varanasi-ghat-spiritual-belief.jpg Blog - Exploring Mother Ganga - Make it stand out For millennia, Ganga has been the cradle of Indian civilisation, physically sustaining millions while serving as the centre of pilgrimage, philosophy and art along the Indo-Gangetic plain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/43bb6e79-893e-4640-9a24-8b1fca765d11/varanasi-ghat-boat-morning-sunrise-scene-film-grain-kodak-photography.jpg Blog - Exploring Mother Ganga - Make it stand out Through observing the devotion and ritual displayed along its banks, I slowly came to realise that indeed in the minds and hearts of many, Ganga resides in the heavens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/f1339d0c-d523-4847-9951-7f220bcbf634/morning-prayer-ghat-boat-builder-india-shipwright-portrait-photography-kodak-leica-m7.jpg Blog - Exploring Mother Ganga - Make it stand out Exploring its banks was a pilgrimage in itself.

Matt, Hannah, Sandy and I rode through quiet villages, pausing at ashrams which each offered their own secluded slice of Mother Ganga. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/5ad74fae-c245-4c0c-b901-c249e684ab58/north-india-river-ganga-water-portrait-woman-film-kodak-photography.jpg Blog - Exploring Mother Ganga - Make it stand out Everything here looks and feels different to the south. Untainted by upstream settlements, the glacial meltwater takes on striking jade-green and teal hues. In person, these scenes seem silky and semi-opaque - translucent in shallow pools over flat rock, yet rich and saturated in deeper channels. Hannah looks stoked! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/38230bb6-df43-438d-a08d-d551d79989ac/yoga-pose-india-north-ganges-river-peaceful-najarajasana-asana.jpg Blog - Exploring Mother Ganga - Make it stand out I feel we only scratched the surface, both in our exploring and understanding of this mythical water body.

Under Way In San Francisco - Make it stand out The year was 2016, or 2017, I think. I’ve never been good with dates. Memory works in its own ways though as I have a fresh perception of the feel of that morning - cool, dense air that smelled of kelp with faint metallic notes from the surrounding industry. The rising sun split the Pacific chill even through the smog and mist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/db1472e9-6e41-4c98-98f9-7ef93cc3d714/35ft-everglades-tender-san-francisco-sunset-wave-wake-sea-spray-film-photography.jpg Blog - Under Way In San Francisco - Make it stand out We had just steamed under the Golden Gate Bridge from Oakland, Alameda bound for Alaska.

Mine was in Delhi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/a607c449-d6ab-4dca-8578-bb2779750372/hands-on-bus-india-photographic-film-print-relaxed-street-colorful-scene-analog-grain.jpg Blog - Landing In Delhi - Make it stand out The heat hit me first, the swarm of hustlers second. I moved briskly through a wall of taxi drivers who chased my scent painfully far. Only once in the Uber waiting zone did they give up. I stood there under a misted ceiling fan - a gift from God. Being unfamiliar with the currency I was sure I would overpay for a taxi no matter how hard I haggled. Uber was my safest bet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/5dbfcd61-94f5-4816-b74f-1109a20d2293/street-scene-car-window-woman-eye-contact-natural-documentary-style-film-photography.jpg Blog - Landing In Delhi - Make it stand out Quickly I was thrust into Delhi traffic, a ceaselessly moving world - a total assault on the senses for a newcomer. The driver slowed at an intersection and I heard a wailing nearby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/e7def2d5-cf23-42ca-b659-38834b8ebaba/dehli-traffic-rickshaw-scene-travel-film-street-photography-leica-m.jpg Blog - Landing In Delhi - Make it stand out A woman was behind us on foot, overflowing with tears, in total panic, her voice screeching in desperation. Assuming the driver hadn’t noticed I motioned to him and he slowed. The woman caught up and thrust herself halfway into the tuktuk and the sight of her completely shook me - mascara ran down her cheeks in a torrent of tears and she breathed in laboured gasps; her whole face twisting with pain. “Help!” she screeched, “Please, help!” while waving a document in one hand. Gauging my confusion she elaborated “Sick! Hospital!”. Now sensing my hesitation she broke further into dismay. “Money!” the word coming out in fractured sobbing panic. I couldn’t bear to see a human being so distraught. I reached into my pocket and handed her a 500 rupee note (5 US Dollars). For a fraction of a second surprise overcame her, she seemed completely still, then she caught her breath and charged with new energy, screaming “More!” but the driver was speeding up and she rolled unsteadily out of the vehicle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/881d099d-0f30-4e1e-bad7-76c13d7bda5f/dehli-rickshaw-story-tourist-scam-film-photography-rear-mirror-reflection.jpg Blog - Landing In Delhi - Make it stand out I turned forward to see my driver’s arms in the air, swearing, shaking his head and looking back at me. “Why?” he said. “Why?” I repeated. “Actor, actor! Not sick!” He was shouting. The words sunk in slowly. “How much you give?” He asked. When I told him 500 Rupees he just shook his head and went immediately silent. His brow remained fixed in a knot and he did not say a word for the remainder of the hour-long journey into the city. This was the only time during my trip in India I saw any local display anger. At the end when I handed him the fare, exactly 500 rupees, I realised I’d learnt my first lesson in India very quickly and I wondered who had worked harder for their keep, the driver or the actress. https://mitchsohn.com/blog/bss-jassu monthly 0.5 2026-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/1786875872844-GHA0Z6D421K88QSAXT7H/conscious-spiritual-peace-limbless-artist-disability-street-india-drawing-portrait-rishikesh-tapovan-documentary-storytelling-photography-analog-natural-light.jpg Blog - B.S.S Jassu - Make it stand out This man’s name is B.S.S Jassu. He is a limbless artist whom I met on the streets of Lower Tapovan, India. His movements are confined by the limitation of his body, though his mind isn’t. I wonder, what do you see in his eyes? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/29ba6329-4944-4bba-bd95-e5e0873855fc/limbless-artist-disability-street-india-drawing-portrait-rishikesh-tapovan-documentary-storytelling-photography-analog-natural-light.jpg Blog - B.S.S Jassu - Make it stand out For half of the year, on a day-to-day basis he shuffles between two blocks where he lives and works. The other half he spends in Rajasthan. For this journey a friend helps him with his small suitcase onto the bus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/0cee31d2-1b99-4486-b9b2-3b80ff940001/limbless-artist-disability-street-india-drawing-portrait-rishikesh-tapovan-documentary-storytelling-photography-analog-natural-light-handicapped-incredible.jpg Blog - B.S.S Jassu - Make it stand out He switches pens by methodically placing one back in designated order before nudging the end of the next one downward, lifting its far end from its place so he’s able to secure it between his two stubs. By using his mouth he is able to remove the lid, slide and rotate it around and place the lid onto the back side of the pen. He spends his days stippling colourful drawings from his imagination. These drawings take him anywhere from a week to a month, depending on their complexity, and they sell for anywhere from 500-1500 rupees (5-15 US Dollars). Unable to survive on this alone, he lives off the generosity and aid of others. I watched a lady try to give him a coin and he politely refused, explaining that he is unable to manage the coin physically. He keeps the notes of his cash donations in his shirt pocket individually folded from where local vendors are able to take what is owed for a meal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/df0e45df-0052-4433-ae61-406bd3f0d3f5/limbless-handicapped-artist-disability-street-india-drawing-portrait-rishikesh-tapovan-documentary-storytelling-photography-analog-natural-light-artwork.jpg Blog - B.S.S Jassu - Make it stand out In spending time with him I became acutely aware of the difficulties he encounters in performing even the smallest of tasks I would have previously overlooked, such as folding and storing the notes into his pocket. He accomplished every task with grace and seemed unperturbed with the comparative challenges life presents to him. I asked him what his greatest challenge is and he didn’t hesitate—mosquitoes! This would explain why he ventures to a drier area during the monsoon time. Meeting a person with daily challenges far beyond my wildest imagination and then discovering that each one is met with grace is a feeling I can’t describe - my words will certainly fall short here. https://mitchsohn.com/blog/edinburgh-tattoo monthly 0.5 2026-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/892d7222-d4ce-427d-915a-d353780b5978/silver-rings-style-skull-mens-jewelry-western-tattoo-edinburgh-festival-photography.jpg Blog - Edinburgh Tattoo - Make it stand out The Edinburgh Tattoo is a masterclass in high-contrast storytelling. As a photographer aiming to capture this, I need not have tried very hard; for an unscripted and spontaneous community of street performers took the lead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/7ece0169-3030-4453-9d98-38939d8c63a9/man-stylish-jewelry-edinburgh-scotland-hairstyle-gothic-tattoo.jpg Blog - Edinburgh Tattoo - Make it stand out During the festival, the Royal Mile, a centuries-old, stone-cobbled street is transformed into an unpredictable open-air theatre of vividly dressed performers and visitors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/e6f2c661-152c-4fb6-aa50-46d591bbdc23/men-jewelry-style-scotland-photographer-nikon-film-35mm-travel-natural-light-portrait.jpg Blog - Edinburgh Tattoo - Make it stand out Dark alleyways, diffused natural morning light and old doors provide the perfect opportunity to portray these contrasts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/571dd766-cb4b-4608-8965-44d138502371/2025-edinburgh-fringe-tattoo-festival-miralia-natural-light-film-photography-kodak-e100-ektachrome-leica-m7.jpg Blog - Edinburgh Tattoo - Make it stand out The space brings people of all kinds in many capacities, from many walks of life.

This is the only time I’ve ever paid to photograph a subject—she insisted on it, and her time wasn’t cheap—all the while she playfully flirted with me, held my arms, told me what muscles I had, and whispered sweet, seductive things in my ear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/14677bc7-ded0-4ac7-9d85-135a595cff37/woman-piercings-portrait-natural-light-photography-performer-guiness-records-piercings-scotland-dress-edinburgh-tattoo-elain.jpg Blog - Edinburgh Tattoo - Make it stand out She has this way of rounding off her sentences with an endearing “okay,” elongating the final syllable while tilting her head and widening her eyes in a playful expression. “If I were younger, you’d be in trouble,” she told me. During our brief and expensive photoshoot, another photographer lingered nearby, waiting his turn, but afterward Elaine wasn’t interested. “Only you, baby,” she told me. “Only you.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/449c008a-e16d-4f91-9ab2-6f370b5b19b3/street-musician-performer-natural-light-film-photography-horn-edinburgh-tattoo-festival-35mm.jpg Blog - Edinburgh Tattoo - Make it stand out Never have I seen such passion as this man struck pose after pose while I struggled to keep up and keep him in frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/cb521d22-1e5c-43b8-ab25-03fc32d943fc/street-musician-performer-leica-m7-natural-light-film-photography-horn-edinburgh-tattoo-festival-35mm-kodak-ektachrome.jpg Blog - Edinburgh Tattoo - Make it stand out He is one of the many performers I observed mingling in a close community of other performers.

This was shot on Kodak E100 slide film which I find ideal for scenes where retaining details in the shadows is not of great importance - this contrast due to a narrow exposure latitude is tricky to work with though can render great results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/18cf60b1-462a-4b60-804d-2370f1490626/themilkman-edinburgh-tattoo-portrait-doorway-woman-photography-light.jpg Blog - Edinburgh Tattoo - Make it stand out Cafes, bakeries and restaurants teemed with customers.

He was idly staring out the door in a meditation of sorts. He didn’t notice me for a long time. It was a guilty pleasure to watch him in this peaceful state—he was there in front of me yet nowhere at all. Something brought him back - maybe his wife sitting next to him - and when he became cognitive, I was directly in his field of vision. There was only the slightest bit of surprise, which is somewhat captured in this frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/5ce2b68a-90b4-49fa-b895-21e8422d3f07/taylor-rishikesh-mirror-reflection-craftsman-india-portrait-natural-light-film-photography-stills-analog-culture-documentary-storytelling.jpg Blog - A Tailor - Make it stand out Talking to him in his storefront I sensed a calm energy from this man who, I quickly learned, suffers from glaucoma. A shrine of Ganesha rests within a display cabinet among rolls of material, a single bed in the corner, a small mirror on the wall, a manual sewing machine in the centre of the room, abandoned by thread and needle. Now and then he’d blink his eyes several times. I asked how this condition was affecting him and he answered with a wry smile and a subtle shrug of the shoulders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a634906a8578e6e19395713/1786730466560-NNK960UIJQODWS7G5108/taylor-rishikesh-craftsman-india-portrait-natural-light-film-photography-stills-analog-culture-documentary-storytelling-tapovan.jpg Blog - A Tailor - Make it stand out This brief encounter stayed with me a long time. I was completely imbued by the peace of this man - who relies on his eyes for a living, who shrugged at the irony of no longer being able to see well enough to work, who proudly worships Ganesha, the God of wisdom, good fortune, remover of obstacles, bringer of prosperity.
