Opera House sail closeup

Now this is what I call an unhealthy obsession with Black and White Photography. But I reckon its too late. After processing the photos using the usual workflow I then go around and do a B/W version of the same. Its worth the effort because in most cases the B/W photos when done right they [...]

Raindrops keep fallin’

Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed Nothin’ seems to fit Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head, they keep fallin’ Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turnin’ red Cryin’s not for me ‘Cause [...]

Delhi to Jaipur by road

After driving through for a few hours we stopped at a road side motel which was appropriately named Rajasthan Motel. We were almost on the border of Delhi and Rajasthan.

Mischa

This is John and Tanya’s cat Mischa. She is a British Shorthair. Shy at first but warmed up later on. I’d only seen photos of her as a little kitten so was quite surprise to see an almost adult Misha, but she was cute. She was quite happy to pose for me as you can [...]

Leaving Delhi

Our Delhi sojourn was soon coming to an end. We had survived the 45°C plus heat and now on our 3rd day of the trip. We were acclimatising a little and had realised by this that stage that two litre of water intake was just not enough for the day! Our bags were packed as [...]
