Pictures of People Taking Pictures

Happy World Photography Day!
I have a weird fetish for taking photos of people while they're taking photos. Also, one of my favorite artistes Jack Johnson has a song called 'Pictures of People Taking Pictures'

'Mah jeejs'

This is one of my favorite photos. In fact, check the next photo for what he was photographing.

 I never believed I'd actually see the Naked Cowboy on Times Square. Photo-op <3

 This is a reflection off 'The Bean' or the 'Cloud Gate' in Chicago

 The summer of '69 photo shoot. More like reunion photo-shoot at my father's High School reunion.

Awkward Photo. Qutab Minar, New Delhi

'Kyunki BB par photo lena zaroori hota hai' - I louu you two!

'Me and mah frand at the beach'

 How could my tied-for-first-place muse not be on my blog?

As my friend Avnish told me the other day : Keep Calm and Shoot. Photos, not People.

Maybe it's just August

So, it was a day after Independence Day and look what I found.


Remnants of a yesterday, of a time-honored tradition...
Kite-flying on I-day (at least in Dilli) is a 'done scene, bro'.


Also, maybe it's just me or maybe it's just August - but the skies seem prettier by the day.

Inverted Patriotism

Happy 65th Independence Day, India


Freedom to assembly. Freedom to just smile? I'm still trying to figure out what it means to me. 

When? August, 2011
Where? Ram Lila Grounds
What was happening there you ask? The India Against Corruption Campaign/Anna Hazare fast.
Who's the pretty lady? :) In Gossip Girl style : That's one secret I'll never tell. 

Yello

This is my first attempt at photo-blogging. I'm a beginner and an amateur at photography and this blog is a medium for me to get some feedback (hopefully).
