Thumulagunta village, 2008

The village South of the University where I have become a sort of village photographer. One of the special places in India and in my heart. I have put so many pictures here because many show pictures of friends who have become special over the next few years (for example Barath Kumar, Mounish, Bobby, Dinesh, and others - see my later pictures of Thumulagunta). I am only able to give them names in these photos by reference to my later visits. On my first visit this year I delivered printed photos from previous years.
