On a basic level I am a storyteller. I tell stories through the songs I write as a musician and through the pictures I make as a photographer. On a practical level I am a small business owner. I see an epidemic in our country as small businesses are vanishing and being replaced by large international corporations. This homogenization of America is frightening and saddening to me. I would like to see how this globalization and rapid increase of access to technology affects the small businesses and local economy of Uttar Pradesh.I hope to gain an outside perspective that will help me to survive as an individual and small business in this changing world. I hope to shed some of my ethnocentrism and find inspiration for future stories to tell, be they musical or a visual documentary of my travels to India that could in a small way affect change in our community.

Looks like you are having fun so far. The world is too small with all of this technology. Look forward to following your travels.
