<strong>Pushkar</strong> Camel Fair<br />
Alan Compton is the winner of our Frame The Fair <strong>Pushkar</strong> <strong>Photography</strong> Contest.<br />
Although he remains busy with his travelling most of the times, but we finally<br />
caught him up for couple of minutes before he boarded his plane to Thailand.<br />
Urshita: How do you feel after winning?<br />
Alan: I felt guilty after winning! I wanted all those other people on stage to win - I<br />
can’t stand that feeling of being so close and missing out , but then I was incredibly<br />
happy that my attempt to capture <strong>Pushkar</strong> in a unique way had been validated. I<br />
went directly to the house of my guide and new friend Sasha and we celebrated<br />
with his entire family - they had a little prayer for me and it was so special to share<br />
the moment with them - and then back at my hotel they had fireworks to celebrate<br />
and the sense of community was incredibly touching.<br />
Urshita: Did you expect to<br />
win?<br />
Alan: I’m an optimist - I<br />
think most people who enter<br />
competition imagine winning<br />
it. I did particularly love the<br />
nighttime images I captured<br />
so I thought that they would<br />
make a good impact on the<br />
judges.<br />

Urshita: So was this your first<br />
visit to India?<br />
Alan: Yes.<br />
Urshita: And how did you<br />
find India and especially<br />
<strong>Pushkar</strong>?<br />
Alan:India is the most creatively inspiring country I’ve visited so far. Everywhere you look there is some kind<br />
of frame to capture - everything from architecture to human condition, the light and the dark - it’s around you<br />
constantly. The cities are so intense and exciting but the small places have their own energy too. <strong>Pushkar</strong><br />
is the perfect example - a small place with a massive festival, friendly energetic locals who are positive and<br />
welcoming, I fell in love with <strong>Pushkar</strong> immediately.<br />
Urshita: Do you plan to visit<br />
India again?<br />
Alan: Yeah - I’ll probably<br />
be back in November if not<br />
sooner, next stop is Thailand.<br />
