Finally Some Sunlight


The sun made a brief appearance piercing the thick grey clouds ever so briefly, but it didn't help in adding any color to the frame. I have taken pics @ Marine Drive on 2 outings (the previous one was almost 3 years back) , but on both occasions I came back with disappointing images. I have been too lazy to move around to find more interesting vantage point. I tend to stick to a narrow stretch opposite the Air-India building & after canning few shots, I prefer just idling on the promenade soaking the salty breeze rather than working hard on getting that "hatke" image. Next time, I ought to do more justice to this captivating landscape. As with other aspects of my life, instead of getting better my photography skills are getting worse by each passing day!!

Brokeback Marine Drive


This one was snapped up along Marine Drive promenade @ Mumbai . This is a favourite hangout spot for young couples looking for quiet private space in the claustrophobic metropolis of Mumbai. I didn't had guts or insensitivity to point my camera at lovey dovey couples locked in various stages of intimacy, instead i chose this "safe" guy-guy couple (?) for some shooting practice. The light was heartbreakingly dull & colorless. After having chugged my camera for over 1 hr to reach this place, I was in no mood to comeback empty handed, so snapped few pics just for the heck of it. The prints were rendered almost black n white ! Weird.
