By the time my conceptual skills had matured, India had undergone a transformation. Its economy had taken off, and the highway system's beastly tentacles had extended even to previously untainted Rajasthan, replacing the spiderweb of country lanes. Five-star accommodations held nothing for me as a photographer. To the contrary, they quashed my inspiration.
直到觀念技藝漸趨圓熟，印度卻產生了質變，經濟起飛了，高速公路的「魔爪」也開始伸入單純的拉賈斯坦，取代了蛛網密佈的鄉間小道，五星級的住宿環境對我的攝影沒有助益，反成了靈感的殺手。
