Photo Blog by Rajan Parrikar bio picture

I was born and raised in Goa. My photographic interests lie in landscapes, architecture, portraiture, street life, culture, religion, and photojournalism. Places that I find particularly inspiring are Goa, Iceland, and California.

I have shot extensively in my homeland of Goa, recording its surviving heritage and its sui generis ethos. I have documented the destruction of Goa's environment and its rapid slide into the ugliness and urban chaos that characterize today's India.

I am also a musician, with a lifelong association with the musical traditions of India. I live in California and spend extended time in Goa.

Meandering through Goan villages during this season is one of life’s great pleasures. These images were taken yesterday. Blog entries dealing with the…
