What a Boring Sky!

2006-03-12T07:54:00.000-08:00

Life in Goa is so beautiful everyday that I found it funny and suffocating to stand there with dozens of people, jostling to look at a boring sky and an uninspiring sunset.

3 AM

2006-03-04T22:50:00.000-08:00

I saw 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose'
According to the movie, 3 am is supposed to be the 'hour of the devil'. Jesus Christ is believed to have been crucified at 3 pm, so the exact opposite of it is when the demons get to work.
I usually wake up around this time to eat. Devil's Work!

It is difficult to take his photographs, as must be with all kids.
He moves so much that almost all photographs have a motion blur. Fortunately this doesn't.

Photo Tour

2006-02-19T07:07:00.000-08:00

When you actually put aside time and go on a 'photo tour', this is what you get! Gurpreet and me travelled about 40 kms yesterday to take pictures...

Just Another Tree...

2006-02-16T07:19:00.000-08:00

...that made me stop
This is just another non-descript tree that I pass by everday. A little below is the sea. I think silhouettes of trees (or anything else) against a setting sun are easy subjects. The photographs turnout to be almost always pleasing if not spectacular.

No ART, Just smART

He got down from the train at a station on the Konkan line, stripped off and washed his clothes.

*The photograph is not meant to be acclaimed aesthetically. It has no art (unlike my previous photos?)

All the Ingredients...

*I've cropped this photograph to remove my foot from it.

Flamingos

Flamingos flying away into the sunset.

*NO, this is not Goa. Its Rozi Bandar at Jamnagar, Gujarat. Flamingos migrate here every winter from colder parts of the world and build their nests in the salt pans.

Me and Kumar on our way to the beach... Just increasing the contrast would make this photograph much, much better.

Just a "nice camera"?

2006-01-26T00:40:00.000-08:00

An anecdote that I came across:

A photographer brought along a photograph when she went to a friend’s dinner party. Her friend accepted the gift and admired the photograph, adding "You must have such a nice camera."
The photographer, at the end of the evening, said to her friend "Thanks so much. That was a lovely meal. Your pots and pans must be very nice."

Minus Photoshop

2006-01-25T23:33:00.000-08:00

I don't like editing my photographs in photoshop to make them prettier by correcting the colors or cropping them to improve the composition.

All the photographs here are as they were taken, without any help from Adobe.

After Thought:
As I just discovered while playing around with the "Angry Young Man" picture in Picasa, just an "Auto-correct colors" or "Adjust Contrast" make a LOT of difference. All the same, my photographs remain 'minus Photoshop'
