100th Post
Wow, it’s hard to believe that this is my 100th post for the new blog/website. I’m not sure I had 100 posts total with the last blog setup, I’m on a roll!
The photo above is from Agra, on the road to the Taj Mahal, taken from our tour van. The skewed angle highlights the size [...]
Howrah Bridge and Train Station
As I’ve recounted numerous times in the past, on my first trip to India I had significant issues dealing with the crowds, pollution, poverty, traffic, etc. So to me this photo is somewhat amazing. My brother-in-law (Sean) and I joined his cousin Sunny for an afternoon tour of Kolkata. After a long drive through the [...]
Kabootars
Another “deep dive” (ok, maybe today isn’t such a deep dive) in to one of the photos featured in “scenes of india“.
Prior to heading to a new location I like to do research, identify interesting locations, customs, buildings, etc. in search of photo opportunities. When reading up on the city of Agra, you have the [...]
Jama Masjid
A second deeper look in to one of the photos that make up “scenes of india“, a photographic journey through India.
Jama Masjid is one of the largest mosques in India and sits in the heart of Old Delhi. The courtyard, partially seen in the photo above, can hold up to 25,000 people. The Muslim community [...]
Fishing At the Feet Of God
Over the next few weeks I will be profiling some of the photos from my first publications, “scenes of india”.
The first photo profiled, Fishing At the Feet of God, is also the cover shot for the book. The photo features the Taj Mahal, as seen from Mehtab Bagh across the Yamuna River. The Taj Mahal [...]
scenes of india
I am pleased to announce the availability of “scenes of india”, a photographic journey through India. My first publicly available photography publication.
Scenes of India explores the life and times of urban Indian life in the cities of New Delhi, Gurgaon, Kolkata, and Agra. 70+ black and white photos printed on premium photo paper with a [...]
Agra Fort
I’ve finished the editing and the first proof of the book, Scenes of India, is being printed and should be delivered in the next few days. The above photo, taken at Agra Fort in India is one of the included photos. After reviewing the book I’ll make it available for purchase and I’m sure it [...]
Street Scenes in India
I’ve made some serious progress over the last few days on the book project. 150 photos edited, and now it’s time to down select and cut around 100 photos from the list and determine color, black and white, or both (and yes I realized I probably should have down selected before editing all the images, [...]
Bananas
Today is an “odd” photography day. While in the midst of some of the best photography shoots I’ve had over the last couple of weeks, including making a jump back in to film and thoroughly enjoying that experience…I suddenly feel like I’m in a photography rut. Maybe it’s the process of editing 100 some odd [...]
India at 30km/h and random thoughts for a Thursday
One of the cool things about “starting the blog from scratch” is that I can re-use a lot of old photos without worrying about duplication! This photo is from a roadside store outside of Agra, in India and is included in my India at 30km/h photo essay. Shot from a window in a moving car, [...]
Birds in Flight

Time is running out on my journey to India, a little over 24 hours until I catch a plane to Thailand for the week. I’ve enjoyed my time in India, but at the same time I look forward to Thailand and a new venue.
Today was the first day I really experienced [...]
Rewarded

On Thursday night I went down to the concierge at the Agra Sheraton and asked them about getting across the Yamuna River to shoot the Taj Mahal from the other shore. I’ve seen some shots and thought it would be a tremendous opportunity to shoot the Taj Mahal while I was [...]

The Bride

I know everyone is patiently waiting for news on the ceremony. I won’t get the video uploaded tonight (keep in mind, it is 2am here!) but I’ve been able to get a number of photos posted. These are in their raw format, unedited, and completely out of order, but I figured [...]
Queen Victoria Memorial

We had a fabulous Sunday, our first full day in Kolkata. It also gave us a chance to see more of the city and not just the westernized hotel. In the morning we went to the “city centre”, a large local shopping center that most of us wouldn’t confuse with one [...]

It’s quiet here, 6am or so on Sunday, August 5th. Looks like the city of Kolkata does actually sleep, at least in this part of town. The city takes on a different look early in the morning, then again that’s easy to say from the comfort of an insulated, air conditioned [...]
Arrived

It’s been a long 24 hours, and I’m still trying to figure out what happened to Friday…but we’re on the ground in Kolkata. The flight to Bangkok was a long 17 hours, but in reality it wasn’t all that bad. After years of flying domestic where they charge you $4 for [...]
Taj Mahal from Agra Fort
Jul 30 2007 (originally posted)
Wow, 3 days and counting…and now the “panic” starts to set in a little. Did I do this, did I do that…crap, what about this. The reality is, I have everything I need outside of some knick knacks, it’s just starting to pack them instead of putting them in little piles [...]
