Harvesting Tea (चाय) Leaves in the Vast Hill Plantations of the Southeast India Mountains

Thursday, December 15, 2011

I felt compelled to stop only once when noticing the workers collecting leaves that would be processed to make tea. Instead of plucking the leaves by hand this worker used a device to increase her productivity. In a future post I will describe the tea making process from beginning to end.

Watching the Sun Set - Thar Desert in Rajasthan (राजस्थान) Northwest India by ROK

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

I've been shooting in North and South India for nearly a month and I can't begin to describe the incredible experience. I was blessed to shoot a 3-day wedding in Vadodara, Gujurat India. Right now I am trying to get back to a normal sleeping schedule. That's why I'm blogging at 3:30 AM! During week two of the trip I traveled to Jaipur in Rajasthan and rode a camel for the first time in my life. After watching the sun set I slept outside my tent in the open under the stars. For once I kept a written journal so hopefully you will enjoy the tidbits that I share with you about my journey over the next few months. Feel free to post any questions via my blog or facebook.

Two Months Before the Flooding (น้ำท่วม) in Thailand by Ross Oscar Knight

Tuesday, November 1, 2011

I'm praying for the people in Thailand. Just two months ago I was walking down this street after it rained. Now after viewing the pictures of the flood I am so saddened to see people being forced to leave their homes. (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2011/10/thailand_flood_reaches_bangkok.html)

Yesterday I Attended the Funeral of a Man I Did Not Know by Ross Oscar Knight

Sunday, October 9, 2011

Blogging from 30,000 ft above somewhere in the Midwest...


Yesterday I Attended the Funeral of a Man I Did Not Know and His Name Was Curt.

What do you know about the wall behind me in this photo? Probably nothing except for recognizing the complimentary colors that blend to make a warm composition. That’s exactly how I felt yesterday sitting with my wife in the choir stand of Angeles Mesa Presbyterian Church (Crenshaw). I gazed out at the amity of yellow, brown, and red faces that made up the congregation. But I knew nothing about the despondent people seated before me. It was sad but beautiful at the same time. I looked further and saw more people that continued to enter through the rear of the sanctuary looking to rest weary hearts and feet. There was standing room only.

It is a humbling experience to attend the funeral of a man whom you do not know. Curt may be the smartest person that I have never met. Beloved by his family Curt seemed to be the glue that held them altogether. I learned more about his life as I read the obituary and listened to the words of his friends and family recount memories. Curt was a jovial man – a man of honor - a shining star. He had an affable personality. Everyone loved Curt. He was a family man. When he was younger he used to have back problems. After his mother investigated the condition she found that he was carrying encyclopedias to school in his backpack to read during lunch. Curt was determined. He wanted to learn. He read the Bible, Torah, and the Koran. Curt reached for his goals. He grew up an elite athlete. Curt was a role model. He changed his major to History and then eventually became a doctor. Curt died suddenly from a heart attack after running on a treadmill overlooking Lake Michigan. He used to tell others that he found peace near water and that running was his time to commune with God.

I struggled to rationalize why this perfect soul was taken at the age of 31. I glanced every once and a while back at Curt’s family during the service and I started living their emotions. Pain and Peace - Hope and Heartache - Anticipation and Acceptance. I thought about one of my best friends (Felix) that I lost at the age of 19 and how I had coped. Curt was not my friend but had we met we probably could have been. God rest his soul.

Let’s return to the wall in the photo. This wall could have existed before any of us did. It may have been a different color or the sum of its parts transported from a different location. The wall was destined to be recognized by me at this time. I leaned on the wall and pondered these thoughts. I touched the wall at its different sections. I thought about how a family should connect the boundaries of our lives. I thought about Curt’s family. I am reminded today of the love I have for my family. For the blessing it is to be one of seven children born to my parents. For the sacrifices my parents made for me to take my first steps. For the days and weeks and years they went without to nourish a young mind yearning for knowledge. For values instilled in a man destined to be a traveling photographer - telling stories to be viewed and recapitulated by thousands. When I shoot, write and then publish it comes to mind that I am not just one of seven but I am one in a global family of billions. Connecting to others is essential to my growth. 

The story of Curt's life blessed me beyond measure and I am grateful that my wife asked me to join her for the service of her friend. We did not come to LA just for the service but found out that coincidentally the funeral was on the same weekend. Its astonishing how all things happen for a reason.

I pray that the impact of this story has made an impression on your heart and that you will communicate with the ones you love.

A School (Escuela) and the Mission on the Island of Roatan Honduras by Ross Oscar Knight

Friday, September 30, 2011

The beauty of these children and the strength of their spirits is crystal clear.

This was notably one of my favorite moments during my mission trip with Roatan Alive. Why? A few of us from the group woke up early one morning to travel to a school. I was beckoned to put my camera down and join a skit. I played the role of "Adam." How cool is that?


Thank you to those (Donnie and Natalie Beamer, Tiffany Rolle, Urisa Reve Smith, Oscar Brandon, Oscar Matthews, Tiffanie Paige, Pamela Velez, Lesley Netter, Elisha Akram) who pledged financial support for my trip to Roatan through direct donations or purchase of my camera equipment.

A Truck รถบรรทุก Store in Bangkok by Ross Oscar Knight

Thursday, September 29, 2011

I walked past this man every single day that I was in the city. He drove his truck into town at 7 AM and set up shop on the side of the street. After day four I learned how to speak enough Thai to ask him about his small business and to let him know that I was a photographer looking to learn more about the Thai culture. He pointed out a picture of his daughter and late mother that he was proud to display just over his left shoulder. We shared experiences albeit performing charades to understand the meaning of some of our words. I asked him how he was able to sit for hours in the heat in a small truck with his legs crossed. The answer: 'To feed my family is why I work.' 'Doing yoga keeps me healthy.'

Ross Oscar Knight Photography Featured in Jezebel Atlanta Luxury Living Magazine

Wednesday, September 28, 2011


I'm thrilled to announce that not one but two of our weddings are featured in the fall issue of Jezebel Magazine. The first image is from the destination wedding of Charles and Elisa (January 2010 - blog 1, blog 2, blog 3) that we shot in Antigua, Guatemala. Elisa is totally one of my favorite people in the world. We are kindred spirits. Hands down Charles can speak on any subject matter you throw at him. The other wedding you will remember as a colorful fall wedding at the Decatur Courthouse, Robert and Tia (September 2010 - blog 1 and blog 2). Tre and Tia are partially responsible for getting my health situation back on track. The two of them have the most fun together of any couple I know. Ironically, Charles and Tia are currently attending the same Law School. Also, this weekend Elisa, Brandi and I will be running a half marathon and then a full marathon together in November. Pick up an issue of Jezebel today and flip to page 60!!
