We were in Varanasi during my annual photo tour, when Piers Ede contacted me regarding an interview for his blog called “The Indiaphile”.\u00a0 Piers had just posted his interview with National\u00a0 Geographic photographer, Steve McCurry so I must say that I was honored to be chosen for his\u00a0 next interview. Piers and I finally hooked upon my return to the States and we had a very nice Skype call.\u00a0 Here’s a link to my interview<\/a> and Steve McCurry’s<\/a>. Piers did a wonderful job writing up our conversation.<\/p>\n

Piers is an interesting soul. Born in 1975.\u00a0 Educated at Winchester College, Exeter University and the University of California Santa Cruz.\u00a0 While living in San Francisco Piers was involved in a hit-and-run accident.\u00a0 During his recovery Piers conceived his first travel book; a global adventure in search of wild honey.\u00a0 His book, “Honey and Dust, Travels in Search of Sweetness” documents his search for wholeness while looking for the last\u00a0of the tribes that still hunt wild honey.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a>
\nThe Guardian called Peter Moore Eadie “a talented young writer acutely aware of light, landscape and mood”. Honey and Dust won the non-fiction category for DH Lawrence prize. Ede is also a photographer and blues guitarist who holds regular exhibitions of his work in London.<\/p>\n

For Piers second book “All Kinds of Magic”, he\u00a0 embarked on a very unusual journey.\u00a0 Disheartened by a world seemingly hooked on material wealth and scientific fact, he decided to travel the world in search of something completely other – the magical, the mystical, the numinous. In “All Kinds of Magic”, Piers recounts this voyage of re-enchantment, which led him from snow-blanketed villages in the Himalayas to a dappled, ancient Sufi quarter in Delhi; from the world’s largest religious festival on the banks of the swollen Ganges to tiny, covert communities of whirling dervishes in rural Turkey.<\/p>\n
