Here is the Official Press Release:

Two Thousand Kilometers in Two Weeks:
Photographer Michael Cogliantry Takes on India in a Rickshaw

With little preparation, one flies to the Indian Subcontinent and does
ones damndest to force India's version of the taxi cab over 2000
kilometers of questionable terrain for international charity Mercy
Corps.

What better way to spend the holidays than two weeks of mountains, mud
tracks, tropical heat, cricket and that most noble of vehicular
genius, the three-wheeled motorized rickshaw? This real life
action-adventure road trip started on the fabled Malabar Coast of
Cochin (Kochi) India on December 2006 and eventually closed two weeks
later in the high-tech center of Hyderabad.

In addition to raising money for charity, Michael Cogliantry
photographed a unique narrative about his trip along the way. The
intention of the project was to use the actual journey, as seen
through the eyes of a fictional character, as a metaphor for the
age-old process of self-discovery. Think Hearts of Darkness meets
Borat.

Along with a book signing, Cogliantry will be showing new 40 x 50"
color photographs, all self-portraits of the artist, making his way
through this very foreign country.
