Basil Pao. Photographer, Writer, Designer.

Basil Pao. It was great to see an old friend back in town. Basil's work is extraordinary. He brought with him his new book HANDS as well as the dummy copy of a work still in production; his book on China. Believe me, it's a treat. Basil , as photographer, has accompanied his friend Michael Palin on many of his journeys, the most recent being 'Inside Himalaya' . Apart from all that, one of the better people to sit round a table with and to have a drink or three. http://www.palinstravels.co.uk/static-102

Colpetty People. Ashok Ferry Exposed.


Met Ashok on the set of the film Water many months ago. I think he was working on a new book called Maradana People. The man has style, a sense of humour and a pink bathtub. Bless him!
