Tim Hall photographed a ‘pilgrimage’ on the banks of the River Ganges, in India. Hall stated that he became fascinated by the mass of humanity there, he believes that religion provides the answer. I like his images as they are candid images, as they show people carrying on with their lives. But some of his images are very misty for example Ganges (see fig. 1) and Turban (see fig. 2), it gives the image a unique and mysterious look, it is very effective.

(Fig. 2. Turban)

The series contains a mixture of colour and black and white images, personally I prefer the colour images are they really stand out against the misty background. The majority of his images contain people, there is the odd one which shows the landscape, I do not feel they are consistent with there rest of the series. The images that make the series flow are the colour one depicting people in the Ganges. They are clear but hold a mysterious quality. I found one image, Water Carrier(see fig. 3), that doesn’t really make the rest, it looks as if it was taken in a studio, it just gives the series a slight inconsistent feel to it.
