A lot of people have asked me to include some photos of me on the site. Up until now, I’ve always allowed just one photo on the Introduction Page. But so many students who are using my novel, Shantaram, and the essays I’ve written as texts for their studies have asked me for more photos to use in their assignments, that I guess I’ll have to cave in, bite the bullet, and put some more photos online.
As with everything I put on the site, if it’s mine you can use it without permission. No problem. But if there’s a photographer involved, and you want to use a photo, please make a note of the photographer’s name, and make an attribution in your assignments.
Okay, here goes.
