Amsterdam Roots Festival
Last week, I read a note on facebook; it said that the Amsterdam Roots Festival has been nominated the Best Music Festival in 2011. I’d spent a day at the festival; June 26 I think it was. I had a good time. Earlier that week, I’d been to the LaMère festival in neighbouring Almere. I’d [...]
Prague; sound bytes and travel advice
I doubt if I’ll post a photo of Prague on my blog after today unless I go there again. I’d like to go but then again there are other places in the world. I’d still go though. In a previous post, I’d told you about the h4n sound recorder. I used it to record some [...]
“It’s a Xylophone!”
This one’s another character study from Dam Square in Amsterdam. I came upon this man playing an instrument along Dam Square in Amsterdam. I didn’t really figure any of the music but the musician is a delightful man. The sounds of extended ‘tings’ and ‘tangs’ coming off his instrument flooded the crowded square that fine [...]
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. [...]
The Louvre via. tunnel
Yashica Mat TLR Camera and Fuji NEOPAN 100 ISO Black and White film. I spent many hours over many different days – along this corridor that leads to the museum from outside the metro station Palais Royal Musée du Louvre – trying to make a photo like this one. The long corridor is forever resonating [...]
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 [...]
James Douglas Morrison at Père Lachaise.
The mortal remains of James Douglas Morrison rest (in the grave) in front of the woman. Fuji GS645 Professional camera and Fuji NEOPAN 100 ISO 120mm film. Jim is the most visited man in the world. Perhaps. He wrote some fantastic poems. Love Street is my personal favourite. People flock to the cemetery at Père [...]
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 [...]

Prinsengracht Canal
The photograph of 4 men chilling on a boat along a canal near Muntplein in the November of 2010 sparked an idea in me. I spent a significant amount of time in the June and July of 2011 along Prinsengracht, photographing people sailing along the canal. This is one of the photos that I made. [...]
