Hustle.Bustle. Hustle.Bustle. These are two words that can describe the early morning activity in Bangkok. Before I get ahead of myself, I’d like to point out that I have never been one for video. I have always believed in a strict focus on straight photography. But then, what the hell, as they say. Also, I…

Directions
Your Purpose in Life Some time back, I sat down to work on a writing prompt, named, “Why Have You Forgotten Me?” Initially, I thought of doing something witty, clever, and charming. Then, I suddenly changed direction and addressed the piece to the corporate world. While writing, I realized it is critical that we possess…
The Painted Man
Street Photography, Scenes. Mental Health Issues A week ago, I wrote a post on “The Painted Men”, and in that post, I wrote about inequality and how it is rising in the world. But street photography gives you opportunities to take images you can interpret and re-interpret over the years. I shot this Painted Man…
A Beautiful Girl in Rome
A Moment in Time I’d like to end this series of posts about my holiday in Rome with two images of an exquisite girl. Judging by her dress and the bottle in her hand; she was a tourist. I am not a lecher, but when I visited the Colosseum, I turned and saw her. This…
The Tourists
Tourists. Those Who Help Economies Grow All locals hate tourists. I have yet to come across one local who confess they love tourists.

Touristy Stuff
General Touristy Images Sometimes, we all shoot general touristy images. These are images that we really have no clue about, and have no seeming purpose, except to make us feel happy at the time. Why not? There was a time in my life when I sneered at these images. But, it’s possible that I was…
A Touch of Drama
A Statue. Between Fantasy and Reality Dramatic Statue. Clouds. Birds. Rome Do you like dramatic images? Do you like a touch of drama? An image which seems unrealistic, and sits on the border of fantasy and reality? If you examine many of your images with a critical eye, you may find some of them are…
The Painted Men.
The Painted Men in a World of Rising Inequality Painted Man. Black. Rome August 2008. Yes, that is when I was in Rome. It’s been a long time, and now the dates come back to me. Now, when I gaze back, I remember I was heading to Europe for an interview with DSM, N.V. of…
Rome. Day 1. More Buildings
Some More Buildings! There were some pretty cool buildings in Rome, though I don’t think I straightened this one out. I waited for a long time, for the crowds to disappear, but that did not happen. Finally, I felt that the two girls in the front presented me with an interesting compositional element. I like…
In Rome Day 1. Some Buildings
Some Buildings In Rome I went to Rome in August 2008. Yeah, a very long time ago. Since then, I’ve changed my outlook on photography, and have been through my own meandering journey. At some point in the last several years, I decided that, because I do some travel photography, I can shoot interiors. Similarly,…
