I click some photographs and write a bit about Goa. Interested in things Goan, particularly regarding its history, geography, culture, traditions and ancient heritage. Eager to visit the villages, where one finds the rich and beautiful Goa of yester year. Enjoying the FlickR mode since the time I came across it. FlickR provides some of the best photographs on earth.

    "Joel, of Joel's Goa's Pics is not just a great photographer, he is a historian detailing the wonderful events that take place in his beloved Goa. Once I knew very little about this wonderful province, but now through his beautiful work, I know a lot. His camera records events from the devotion of the local population, to recording the celebrities and gala occasions of the area. Everything is included, from marriages to funeral rites. His images capture the colour and details of daily life in beautiful Goa!

    I owe much to you Joel, my friend and mentor!"

    "I saw Joel;s pictures of his Goan Province and I got a great cultural education of the people, places and flora and fauna. His eye for culture makes him the perfect representative for his area and country. I hope to see more works of Joel and get a better understanding of that part of the world. Having grown up in the Philippines as a child, I had a lot of uncles from India who worked at the University of the Philippines. So, I do feel a kinship with the Indian people and culture."
