Along Prinsengracht Canal again
I’ve already told you that I had spent a significant amount of time standing on top of a little bridge along Prinsengracht Canal photographing the boats that sailed under me. The fact of the matter is that I must have spent well over 80 hours standing on top of this bridge during the two months. [...]
Old Town Prague.
Yashica Mat TLR Camera and Fuji NEOPAN 100 ISO Black and White film. Old Town Prague is the most beautiful place that I have been to. The architecture is unparallel to anywhere else in the world. The imposing structure that you see is the majestic Church of Our Lady before Týn. Wikipedia suggests that it [...]
Lalbaugcha Raja in 2011
Lalbaugcha Raja has a lot of history behind it dating back to pre independence times. Most of the major textile mills of Bombay stood in this neighbourhood. Mill workers lived here in tenements or chawls. One fine day, the owners of these mills decided to either shut down operations or move elsewhere as property prices [...]
Change of crop!
Most oft, the impact that a photograph has on me is different from that it’d made on the previous occasion. Whilst traveling, I’d connect my flatbed film negative scanner to my Macbook and do low resolution scans. I’d post some of them on this blog. A few weeks ago, I had some of my film [...]
L’Ecole Militaire / La Tour Eiffel
Fuji GS645S Professional rangefinder camera and Kodak TMAX 100 ISO 120mm black and white film. I spent all of yesterday evening catching up with a couple of friends and gobbling down some Chicken Kozhi Porichathu and fried Rawas. Whilst the fish and chicken tasted fantastic, I’m rather disappointed to be back to drinking Kingfisher beer [...]
The Prague Astronomical Clock
Fuji GS645S Professional rangefinder camera and ILFORD DELTA PROFESSIONAL 100 ISO 120mm black and white film. Hundreds if not thousands gather in front of the Prague Astronomical Clock Prague Orloj. I made this from atop the clock tower on the day of its 600th anniversary on the 9th of October, 2010! In another life, I [...]
Bohemia
Fuji GS645S Professional rangefinder camera and ILFORD DELTA PROFESSIONAL 100 ISO 120mm black and white film. Old Town Prague hit me. The architecture is magnificent and unlike other. Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor – King of Italy, King in Germany and King of Bohemia, commissioned a lot of it. I am at a loss [...]
L’Avenue des Champs-Elysées
I like this moment. Notice the action of the pedestrians crossing the avenue along the pedestrian crossing in the foreground (and their shadows) and the cars along it, the traffic further down and the people (a lot of them tourists) along the pavements on both sides (and their shadows). Fuji GS645S Professional rangefinder camera and [...]
Aboard the Chinese Fishing Net at Fort Cochin
“YES – pulling – like that pulling – come! come!” cries the fisherman. It is an invitation to the tourist(s) to hop aboard the Chinese Fishing Net (that) he toils on. And experience the process. Seldom is he turned down. And once on the platform: “This is Chinese technology fishing net – the framework weighs [...]
Along the river, at Britona
Britona sits along the Mandovi River, close to Panjim in the once Portuguese state of Goa in India. Britona is a quaint Goan village. In the mornings, the river is still and the air is clear. It is quiet and peaceful. Kingfishers keep a close eye on the river from treetops and mangroves. R. Mandovi [...]
