Art for Art’s Sake!

Date: March 18, 2009 Categories: Featured, Misc, Personal, Photoblog Comments: 14 Comments Share:

Ivan Germon (Pronounced EeVon Jermoine) is a graffiti writer (painter?) from France who I happened to meet at Bobby’s place when I was in Mumbai. He is travelling around India trying to write graffiti (or stick pre-written graffiti as the case may be) on walls here in different cities and has infact, done quite a bit of work on the walls [...]

Shilpa and I went to Opus for the Sunday O-Show to check out some stuff and they had a potter there who was teaching people how to make clay pots and also letting them take stuff that was made. Shilpa decided to give it a shot but unfortunately it did not end up looking like she wanted it to!

Ever since I started getting somewhere with my photography, I’ve wanted to do photojournalism. Its just something that I have been wanting to do for quite sometime now. So after waiting for the right time to come along and waiting to see if I can get some “assignments” hooked up to do something, I have decided its time to [...]

Mumbai Meri Jaan

Date: March 9, 2009 Categories: Personal, Photoblog Comments: No Comments Share:

Over the past year or so, I have made so many trips to Mumbai and from absolutely hating the place and not being able to stay here for more than a weekend at most, I have come to know and love this place … a LOT! Infact, I would never have thought that this would be possible, but I think I would happily move here and have a ball of a [...]

Igor – The Dalmatian

Date: March 2, 2009 Categories: Animals, Friends, Photoblog Comments: No Comments Share:

Igor must be the cutest Dalmation in the world. He knows when he is being photographed and he just poses beautifully. I took this photo after much adjusting of the camera because this was taken way past sunset! There was very little light and I had to make a lot of adjustments to not fire a flash and through all that testing, Igor just sat [...]

Allegro Fudge

Date: March 1, 2009 Categories: Music, Personal, Photoblog Comments: 1 Comment Share:

A while back, I had asked all of you to suggest a name for the band I was playing with. A lot of interesting suggestions came up, but what stuck was “Allegro Fudge” which was suggested by none other than Derek Sivers himself! Infact, it was suggested as a spur of the moment thing and without even knowing what it was for! But it [...]

In Deep Thought?

Those few moments before you go on stage are different for different people! there was a time I remember when I just started playing music, that I would get really nervous before a show and those last few minutes before the show started, I would be fully quiet and trying to run through all that I have to do on stage! This was one of those [...]

Siva’s Glow!

Date: February 21, 2009 Categories: Music, On-Stage, Photoblog Comments: No Comments Share:

Siva always gets a raw deal WRT photographs during the show. Most photographers tend to focus heavily on the guys in front and neglect the drummer . However, he always has the best shots during sound check! Its quite wierd for me to be part of the band doing a soundcheck and my camera always next to me so I can click some shots for the blog! [...]

Yakshagana!

After our show today, there was a Yakshagana performance and this was taken backstage where the Yakshagana artistes were getting ready to go up on stage. These guys take a LOT of trouble to get their makeup and costume perfectly right before their performance. Sometimes, it takes close to 3 hours for the whole group to get ready! They then [...]

Jayesh

Jayesh is probably the one guy most photographers in Bangalore know in common! his small shop near Majestic in Bangalore must be where every single Pro-Am photographer got some part of his/her equipment from! Infact thats where I got my 18-200mm lens from and more recently, my LowePro camera bag and other accessories from. This is him in his [...]
