Every family has a story that it tells itself, that it passes on to the children and grandchildren. The story grows over the years, mutates, some parts are sharpened, others dropped, and there is often debate about what really happened. But even with these different sides of the same story, there is still agreement that this is the family story. And in the absence of other narratives, it becomes the flagpole that the family hangs its identity from.

An experiment in shooting macro by reversing the normal lens. I came out good 🙂
“Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.”
~ Ryunosuke Satoro
Went out to shoot in the evening but din’t feel like it. Just need to sit silently and think for some time.
This appeared like a union of sky and earth. Rain does a remarkable job in bringing these two together. Din’t upload any photograph yesterday as things have been a little messy lately. Hoping that it will all settle down in some days.
“I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers”

Must see on Flickr
When I think seriously about it I remember taking a lot of photographs of flowers when I just started photography. How often you get to see such a harmony of colors? Whenever I feel confused, I always go to the natural composition and color combinations. With most of our perceptions developed from it, it is like the vast repository of everything.

“For me, a page of good prose is where one hears the rain and the noise of battle. It has the power to give grief or universality that lends it a youthful beauty”

I love the sound of rain. I am making more and more photographs on rain and seeing that monsoon season has just started I am going to make a lots of them. I tried a lot of different angles but finally I decided on the first one I took.
Here is different angle I like

Spent a lot of time on editing. I read some tutorial on ‘How to give a painterly effect?’ in a book by Scott Kelby yesterday. I din’t have any suitable photograph to try at that time. I went for a photo-walk in the small break I got between rains. I saw this old lady from a long distance and I decided to take a photograph. It came instinctively to me that only the side pose will reflect her true state. In side pose you can see the bend in her body which makes a lot of impact. I waited for her till she came opposite to me and took this photograph. After going through Lightroom and Photoshop the final result came out to be complete different from the original.

I din’t experiment a lot with this photograph as I observed it just how I wanted it to be. I just used a little trick I use while photographing people. I start from a distance taking a larger area. It helps in avoiding people to become conscious. Then you can go closer and closer until they notice you. If they don’t panic, you can experiment with various angles. If not, say sorry and leave. You just have to crop them to get the photograph.
