Bring The Freshness to Your Living Room

Bring The Freshness to Your Living Room, originally uploaded by SwappyIT.

Took this photograph while back during last monsoon in Columbia, SC.

The fog and change in temperature caught dew drops on my macro filters, and I simply loved the shot.
The drops that remained in the picture , somehow always brings back the smell of wet soil and the freshness of mild rainy breeze.

A perfect picture for my living room

Tired Of Life

Tired Of Life, originally uploaded by bnilesh_wakling in fields.

It has always been said over n over : " A Picture is worth a thousand words".

Probably for the first time, I feel the power of it.
Those tired eyes , looking for a respite, those droopy mustache telling a tale of the glorious past, the turban and a head held high , depicting the never say die attitude , and a pride for what I am.

A Mixed saga of emotions , the picture literally made tears roll outta my eyes....

In the our age of career and self centric life , we find excuses to be busy, and never give a thought as to what those small talks with the elderlies mean to them , and what pearls o wisdom you might gain from them.

Hats off to Nilesh sir for the masterpiece, and for reminding us of the roots.

I Love photography even more , wish I'd click a single such picture.

Shot From NYC Cruise, chilling Cold , drizzle and breeze.
A not so perfect day for photography , but RAW came out clean.

There were just two people on the deck when this was shot, Me with my tiny FZ18 and a Pro with an arsenal of lens.

Quite some lessons he gave.
