Finally with willing and apt models I am able to start photographing the human form in the way I have envisaged for years… Despite having seen countless pictures similar to what I would like to capture it is, as said by most photographers a very hard task. Out of the 40 odd pictures only 2 [...]
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly. – Richard Bach A rather satisfactory end to a day which began in lousy manner. Early morning just as I was about to do that “little bit more” it started raining. Had to rush out in the cold to get the [...]
1) Made myself as tired as I could with a loong walk 2) Stole some of Swati’s time and took her to a book expo – purchased Khuswant Singh’s translation of “Umrao Jaan” dropped in for a while in the afternoon. A pity he is going back tomorrow. Today for the first time I tried [...]

Finally a decent insect macro shot, this cam takes a bit of getting used to… but I was able to do this 1/30 sec shot without a tripod and pretty decent depth of field. I would have been more happy if I had taken precaution to frame the shot such that the tail of the [...]
Funny things happen if you add a second disk with a live Linux install to to your existing Red Hat install – the system gets confused with double LABEL=\ and starts hissing, spitting and boots into the wrong Linux install among other things The solution to this (thanks to ) is to edit the grub.conf [...]
Petty people petty politics Less said about it the better… Pretty people pretty photos Had an impromptu photo session with a friend of ours – Two photos have come up displayable BUT I don’t have permission to… … now now don’t let your imagination run awry they are both close-ups and not…. Tweet
Most of them photographs
