Current Exhibit
Pictures of India with Kyle Gray
Leh, the capital of Ladakh, at 11,500 feet, rises from the Indus River to the foot of the Karakoram Mountains. Juxtaposition lies at the heart of Leh as it balances between tradition and change — A photo from anywhere in this area can serve as a gateway to a wealth of storytelling.
Current Exhibit
Pictures of India with Kyle Gray
