Shooting with various cameras certainly gives a photographer different perspectives on gear. After having shot with a number of compacts, dslrs, and m4/3 digital cameras. I’ve come to appreciate one thing the most for my own photographic journey and that is — portability.
The title fits my mood exactly. As a matter of fact, it also matches my mood towards my photography in the new upcoming year. I have so many projects in my mind and in the end I think we just have to start.

Photographically speaking, I’m feeling the inspiration once again to go dark and gritty. Every time I admire Moriyama’s work, its almost like a universal truth — I want to go out and record the world around me. Unfortunately, time is a finite concept and as such, I sometimes just don’t get the time to go out and shoot. But a photographer and friend by the name of Wouter Brandsma is also responsible for this inspiration. Wouter Brandsma’s photography can be many things. Sometimes dark, other times colorful, and yet other times gritty and mysterious and I must say I truly enjoy he’s series of weekly posts. That reminds me that I’ve fallen behind my own series titled “The Fortnightly Review” but I hope to continue it as time permits. In the mean time I’d like to experiment with my current surroundings as much as possible.
If you have not read the latest Togs Series entry, then you should. It highlights a wonderful street photographer from New York city named Michael Martin.
Well, that’s all for now. Happy Holidays !!
My photographs are not planned or composed in advance, and I do not anticipate that the onlooker will share my viewpoint. However, I feel that if my photograph leaves an image on his mind, something has been accomplished.

I consider it essential that the photographer should do his own printing and enlarging. The final effect of the finished print depends so much on these operations.
- Bill Brandt
These days I no longer develop and print but instead I use Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro as my digital darkroom. I quite like it and see myself using it more and more. Although my friend, Josh White, has been dabbling lately with the Ricoh GR21 and GR1V and I must say I’m quite smitten by those rich tones.

If a documentary photograph is to have any life in it, it’s very important that it exhibit certain characteristics. The photograph should, first of all, be about people. Nothing is more fascinating than the human face and the human condition.
