It was the last summer before we all had babies. Eat Media was less than a year old, and we took the business “on the road” for the month of August. This was our first stop: our friends’ lake house in Connecticut. We would work until 4pm or so, go water skiing and then go back to work. This photo captures the freedom we felt that summer. The freedom to invent the business and the life we want.

Where taken: The Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), Amritsar, India
Camera used: Sony Cybershot
I spent most of 2007 living in Pondicherry, India, with eight rowdy American girls and one French guy. That May, three of us travelled more than 1,700 miles north to Amritsar. Shortly after arriving, I quickly snapped this photo outside the gates. The sun was shining straight in my eyes and I couldn’t see a thing. We spent the next few days exploring the temple and Punjabi countryside before heading for the Himalayas. I so close to Pakistan I could have touched it through a chain link fence, and would have done so if the border patrol didn’t have such big Kalashnikovs and so much ammunition.

They are some great pictures, Wendy would have loved to see more pictures of exploration of India and Amritsar, I think that this Friday Photo Essay is a good idea, I’ll be checking back more often to your blogs.

[...] Eat Media has a post on simply posting the best photo you’ve ever taken and explaining it. I don’t want to wait until Friday to do this, so here you go — Friday on a Tuesday. [...]
