Save your city


I’ve been away way too long!
This photo was supposed to be a sequel to the bat girl photo. The joker to the batgirl!
Joker takes on the mile high city this time though 🙂

I started grad school and it has kept me very busy. But, I don’t wanna ignore flickr for the next two years. I wanna hold on to this side of me as much as I can.
I’ve been a lousy contact but I’ll slowly catch up on all your photostreams.

Two more edits and a close-up to show the model Lyndia’s amazing make-up job.

Batgirl Rising

Model and MUA-Lyndia

Yet another photo from my shoot with Lyndia. We hiked up a small mountain for a shoot. She had to change make-up on location quite a few times and she did a great job with it.

Another edit-

Model and MUA-Lyndia

I am back home in India and it feels good. My trip so far has been hectic. Today is my first day to chill at home and I thought I’ll upload and also check out what all my contacts have been upto on flickr.
Time to eat some mangoes and check out all your streams 😀

Weekly photo challenge : Hands

Model and MUA-Lyndia

It has been forever since I logged into wordpress. I’ve been shooting but for some weird reason I have been putting off uploading.I guess I am reaching new levels of laziness. 🙂

I shot with a model who is also a Make-up artist last week. She was easy to work with and very co-operative. I had a blast shooting with her. I also learned that I really need to start carrying a reflector to shoots because the Colorado sun is extremely harsh!

I have an exciting week ahead of me. A road trip to Dallas and then a long vacation in India. Yay 🙂

More from this shoot coming up in the next few days.

Breathe

This is an old photo that I just got around to editing.
I am glad the days of heavy jackets and ear muffs are over!Dressing in layers to step out is what I hate the most about winter.
I hope the sunshine and warm weather we ‘ve been having stays !

Paranormal waves

This is a spot on the trail that I’ve walked past many times . I remember this spot because my husband is a transmission line engineer and always stops to look at these lattice towers Yup! I know what they are called because he bores(oops educates) me with his lectures on power and transmission lines 🙂
While he does that, I go into my fantasy world and imagine aliens sending us(by us, i mean only me:P) signals and enlist me to save the world 😀

I just finished watching paranormal activity 3. I quite liked it. It was scary!!

Neptune

The past few weeks have been weird. I’ve been sick of my 365 and photography. So much that I did not even take my camera along when people came to visit us! I never do that 😦
I am torn between not wanting to let this 365 ruin my love for photography and not wanting to give up.
Maybe it is not giving up . Maybe it is about realizing that I shouldn’t treat photography like the other parts of my life where there are rules, deadlines and commitments. Maybe it should be just about doing what I love when I want to.
Maybe it is about realizing that while this project pushes some towards giving their best, I want to shoot by impulse.
While I write this I am realizing how I can no longer call my 365 a 365 because I’ve missed way too many days to catch up 🙂 .I am glad I started it though. It gave me a sense of purpose and fulfillment when I needed one badly. I was very enthusiastic at the start and did get some photos that I love and am proud of.
Anyways, think it’s time I stopped my rant 🙂

Yesterday, I had this sudden urge to take a photo. I biked to a spot that I had in mind and took this.
It has been so long since I did a self portrait without my husband or Frodo with me. I was shy all over again 🙂 I’ve realized it is the model part that makes me conscious. I couldn’t care less about who is watching when I am just behind the camera 🙂

I stumbled upon this show called “Art star” ,but couldn’t watch it. Anyone seen it? Is it good?

Day 88/365

Another one from my photo shoot with Andrea.

The friday artwalk was awesome. The entire art district came to life with street performances,food carts, street art shops and people popping in and out of galleries. I couldn’t manage to go into every gallery in one evening! I am definitely going again next month. 🙂
