Trying out a Tripod...

My intention in this self-portrait, was to make it look like a snipers rifle...so had to wear this costume.
Am glad some people did think that it was a rifle. For those in photography, would recognise this instantly.

It's my tripod (to mount the camera). Its just that I have carried on the childs habit of shaping up things to its desire. When I bought this old tripod last month, I wanted to make it look like one. But since I travelled I could not. So I captured this 45 days after I fancied of coming up with this.

If you ask me what's special about this - I would say that am holding the tripod almost exactly parallel, even though its my left hand.

Don't let me know, if you were laughing at this. But my crush on the Snipers rifle would exist forever.

It's My World!

It was not long ago that I was the only reader of my blog. It was just me and my blog - a very small world. I think I was more like a lazy traveller who just wanted to see things from his perspective and enjoy it. One fine day it changed and I started travelling through the blogs, the best thing that could have happened to me. That's how some of you know me. Still I am not a frequent blogger, but lots of years is left for me and hope to reach as many as possible.

While everyone is sending wishes for a friendship day, I thought of saying this...


This picture is special because I had taken this picture, with an intention to make it look like a greeting card (well almost!). I am not quite sure how much you all like it ( I really was wondering what text color to choose from, gosh! how tough it would be for the web designers). But since this was my first attempt in doing so, in a way it is special. Am glad to share it with each of those who come across this.

Everyday is a new day and an opening card to get to know someone...blogging is a great way to do that. I do not know how long I would do it actively, but till then the people, their writing and their life's I would come across would definitely be as exciting as a journey for a treasure hunt.

We never know, how valuable it could be, like...
Some known faces...
Many unknown...
Thoughts that do not have faces...
Expressions that travel far...
Excitement that lits up the blog arena..

...again, am glad that you are in my world...and anyone who passes by also, have a great time.

NOTE: Just for all our nature conservationists concern - This was shot in it's natural habitat, no plucking - no touching. I usually don't disturb them.

How to Name It!

... not the best one, happened to click while out for a shopping.
As said,

Is white for peace!
Wonder who started relating da colors to the abstract emotions...but v follow.
Personally am fond of white and I prefer to keep a shirt & T-shirt of milky white in my wardrobe...

To me, innocence is the first thing that comes to my mind, wherever I see it. I have met/ known few nice people who have alwayz been successful in influencing me, to be a better human. At the end of the day, I would like to close my eyes knowing that I have been, what I wanted to be. Next day does not matter to me.

What will happen without White...well, still willing to while away with whole lot of other colors!

The Unpredictables...

...we get smiles only, when we come across someone who thinks just like us. Some walk away, some stay...but anyways life has to move on isn't it?

People make their own choices (me too)...often unpredictable.


This snap was a bit hard to capture, since the lens used were not for close up shots. I was flat on the grass, making sure that I don't miss my yellow! fading light makes it also harder to get a focus on; holding the camera lying flat with head tilted up is quite an yoga itself!

...I prefer to take such shots rather than the normal angles...n these are nothin compared to the sufferings the wild life photographers go through to take some of the shots. Sometimes involves clinging between the branches, standing in water for hours, exposted to cold weather, bugbites...all for that single perfect shot! That's where I want to be...someday.

Expressive...

The frame & color that I had in my mind for quite some time...! Wud'nt say that this is what I wanted exactly, but almost - considering that I had no mood to take pictures today!

Have always had a liking for yellow (+black). I realize that I have been filling the pages with flowers...lemme know if any of you is bored lukin at these! but was surprised to know what all yellow symbolises!

Smile is what I see in it...n I hope this brings a smile on all your face too!
