Who To Know In India

New Delhi, India

This is Mr Sunil - India's Fashion Maven, President of India's fashion Board, and all around Socialite.

I was introduced to Sunil as nothing more than a producer working on a project with the Sundance Channel.

Since that point, however, everywhere we went, Sunil introduced me as "Mr Jeremy, who is working with Robert Redford". Obviously, thats quite a leap, but it became his reality.  And in his world of fashion models and Bollywood stars, image is everything.  (Though, I do wonder how many of these Indians actually knew who Robert Redford was.)

Sunil is a force of nature.  And in India, he is king.  Here, he is pictured with his favorite Ambassador to his left and a cast iron version to his right.

Jaipur, India

This visit to India was radically different from any of my previous visits.  For one, I was seeing India from a whole different perspective - eating in the best restaurants, staying at the best hotels, and seeing things that most people only dream about.  

But through it all, it was work - not a luxury vacation.  And the stress that goes along with shooting doesn't dissipate just because you are filming in the maharaja suite at the Umaid Palace.

But strangely enough, where I found my peace and joy was back on the choas of the streets - with the lonely street cows.

Cows are hypnotic.  Its not hard to see why they are revered in India.  

But, to be sure, the environment does make all the difference.  After all, I don't get the same feeling passing the massive feedlot on the I-5.

A Little Love for the LA Zoo

True, there are no elephants, no reptile house, no penguins or polar bears. 

But, there's a flamingo pool, and a sea eagle with a broken wing.  And fewer crowds of spoiled children than one will find on any given day at the san diego zoo.
