Fearless Parvati, 7, gets up close and takes brilliant shots. "I want to take pictures of everything. At first I took pictures of things like the cow, rabbits, friends, but now I'm taking pictures of activities like cooking, washing, changing clothes, boating, people at the temple. I want to know everything and to teach photography." Looking at her depth of learning it is almost impossible to believe she is only seven years old!
