A photo journal and some ramblings…

Pictures for the sake of pictures, pretty photos, compelling compositions. Meaningless unless they mean something, if you get what I mean! I have done several outings to the markets, bazaars and slums of Dhaka city. In isolation, many of the photographs I took during these visits are really meaningless. so here is an attempt to [...]
A “hidden” option found in PSCS5 / ACR 6 which is such a great advantage. While in CS5, you can open MB [for Mini-Bridge] and if you then select a RAW file, hold down the SHIFT key and Double-click - it will open up directly in PSCS5 without first being processed via ACR [Adobe Camera Raw]. So, why [...]

SoFoBoMo 2010 book nearing completion. Made another visit to Panam Nagar in Sonargaon this morning… not early enough though and we got caught up in a bad traffic tangle going out which added to the delay. Early morning light was gone, harsh bright sunlight was fine in a way because most of the main street [...]

It was an overcast day with a strong possibility of a violent thunderstorm later in the morning. Had [...]

SoFoBoMo 2010: Unfortunately, due to various reasons, I have had to drop the idea of doing a photo book on the temples of North Bengal. My other choice [second choice?] is to do a similar theme – the beauty of Panam Nagar and Sonargaon village near Dhaka. I will Start Tomorrow the 4th June 2010 [...]
Preparing and testing out layouts for the SoFoBoMo 2010 book… The images in this test book are from a previous visit to Sonargaon in Bangladesh.
Final Dress rehearsal, the last day before the performance. Took a lot of photos. Exhausted from working the lights and camera and then the post-processing at the computer…. Happy, with the results. Then a couple of shots of Cutty Sark, and sushi dinner at Arirang. Nice!
Did a few group photos and filled-in some blanks. Just a few days to go for the final performance. The kids are performing their parts really well and are fluent with their lines. Good show! Tanveer has got the RR website pretty much rounded-off now as well. Looking good!
