What do you know about India? What if everything you knew about a place was given to you by someone who never told the truth. They only manipulated things so it could benefit the idea of them being superior. I travel because I am a seeker. A seeker of knowledge, the truth , beauty , culture and spirituality. When you see a person laying on the floor hands stretched out what first comes to mind? When you see people eating with only hands what do you think of? As we continue to grow the experiences you obtain shape your identity. You evolve your mindset shifts the measurement of success is changed. You no longer are interested in what you once was. Yes it’s scary life is scary when you don’t know what your next move is only a vision and a fantasy of what can be. I’m humbled everyday to say the last 10 years of my life has been dedicated to being a creative artist with talents in filmmaking and photography. I am honest enough to say I am nervous to see if the next 10 years will be dedicated to continuing this journey. #arobleevisual #india
The faces of India. I was able to capture people. So many different shades of brown. I wanted to build my portfolio of people from around the world. To do so you must travel. You must step outside your comfort zone. And most of all you must have a clean heart and empty cup. These people don’t know me they have no reason to give me a piece of themselves. I am humbled to be able to document portraits of people I meet along my travels. #arobleevisual A majority of these pics were taken in Rishikesh while a few were taken in Vrindavan
Why did I travel to India ?
To build my portfolio to build confidence in my abilities. To experience something new. To learn from the experiences of others. To understand a culture that’s is spiritual. To test myself.
Because I had seen other photographers go and the work they showed captured my interest.
So many reasons every day I can add more to the list. What I have to say about India should be felt through the imagery I share.
What questions do you have for me about India.
#arobleevisual all these photos were taken @govardhan_ecovillage while on tour with @vedathemonk we spent the first couple days at the eco village doing yoga chanting exploring eating good food and preparing for our travels to Rishikesh
When you hear the story of the ones that came before you it adds to your vision. It shapes your identity and fuels your passion @lornasimpson has given me much to think about. My purpose what I really want to do how do I see my work being showcased #arobleevisual

My # was called and when the phone rang I was ready. These pictures are just a few of what was captured during my two days documenting events. #arobleevisual
I live for moments like this. To see artists who create something then see an institution amplify it. Thank you @giwasgram and @sarajawn your work continues to inspire. Thank you @schomburgcenter #arobleevisual
My recent traveling experience was to document the #carifesta being held in #barbados. Identity what does it mean to identify as something. Being born in America to Caribbean mother I began my journey on finding out what it means to be Caribbean by first traveling to the Caribbean. Which has led me to wanting to document Caribbean culture. It is moments like #carifestaxv that show me what culture is and how we use it to showcase our talents to the world. I attended a lot of panel discussions. Reasoning as the Rastas like to call it. Enjoy the pics and look forward to the video content. #arobleevisual
