Writing is a tricky thing. You can’t write in two states – when you have nothing to write (of course) and when you are overwhelmed by the content you have. For me, it was quite busy summer. London, Edinburgh (the fringe obviously), Berlin, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Malmo and Stockholm. With these travels, came lot of new experiences, learning, stories and of course, photos. And at … Continue reading Malmo (It’s in Sweden)
Idea was to click a typical urban scene in London which symbolizes energy radiating from the pace of the city. What could possibly be a better place than a London tube station to witness that first hand? People rushing through London tubes at that pace is like blood flowing through veins in human body. A movement that is evidence of life. London has this energy … Continue reading ‘Radiant’ : London Chronicles Continue
Let’s start with more known and relatively simpler fact – total population of Ireland is roughly 5 million (there are 7 cities in India with population more than that!) but there are 70-80 million Irish people on the planet who call this place home. Put it this way – if we consider that as ‘population’, Ireland would be in top 20 most populated countries. Considering that, … Continue reading Ireland #01 : St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations
First I visited Ireland was in 2010, on Google Street View. It was just added to Google Street View then and first place I visited was Grafton Street. To me, Ireland was all about Grafton Street (I was obsessed with it then for some reason!), Guinness, Luck and everything green (No. Not even St. Patrick’s Day parade). I could not even have imagined then that … Continue reading Ireland #00 : Preface
As Frances Shea’s character said in movie Legend (2015) – “The world is quite like London. It’s not good, it’s not bad, it just is. There’s no morality or dishonor, just your own lonely code. Until your race is run. Until the end. Until we’re all just ghosts of the people we once thought we were.” I like how London is compared to the world, … Continue reading We Vs Ourselves
This photo reminds me this wonderful song by Irish musician Mickey MacConnell – ‘The world was ours, I was yours, And I thought you were mine……’ Or may be this photo has nothing to do with it! 🙂 Continue reading Birds
“So Where are we going next?” “We are going back home! Look at you!” “What’s wrong with me? I’m perfectly fine! We are going there next! That pub! Right there! We have to go there!” “Look! Let’s go home now, we take some rest and may be we can go to that pub tomorrow! And what’s so special about that pub anyways!?” “You remember? I … Continue reading Conversations #4 : India Connection
Speaking of dreams, art and dreams have always been interlinked, be it ancient paintings on some cave walls or be it more contemporary forms of arts. Photography, however, is odd one out when it comes to an artist’s ability to link his dreams to his work (presuming here that photography is an art as much as any other form of art). A singer can sing to express … Continue reading Dreams, Clicked.
This week’s entry to challenge on Leanne Cole PHOTOGRAPHY. I have posted below color version of the image as well. (Could not really decide which one looks better as image? Comments welcome.) I am aware that I have been publishing many pictures of Paris,France for a while. As a photographer you do get stuck at it for a while after you be there. I am going through that … Continue reading City (Of) Lights : [Monochrome Image of Week 06072015]
They did not stand a chance! I would not dare to go against these fearless and fearsome birds. I wonder, what possibly could have been on those little pigeons’ minds? A pint of Guinness may be! May be these two little lads got their hands (or beaks) on a pint of Guinness left unattended. And after having some, one might have said, “Too much of running … Continue reading Head On
