The Installation

There are very few public installations in Mumbai. Most of the older ones, such as the painted cows, lions and elephants outside the Churchgate stations are in a pathetic state. Barring the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival, one barely gets to see much public art installations. So, it’s a pleasure to see an installation being given a place of pride inside a public park.

Present inside the Cross Maidan just off the Churchgate railway station, on the left hand side of the road leading to Flora Fountain, this installation just arrests your attention.

Post sundown, it is quite well lit with the LEDs which transition from red to blue to violet.

I wonder how the installation will interact during the daytime with the sunlight. Should be interesting to find out for a future post. Hopefully will get more details about the installation as well:)

Intl Saturdays 37: Harajuku GIrl 2

Finding a girl wearing normal clothes on Takeshita Dori off the Harajuku metro station is quite a task, where everyone is in their cosplay best with insanely garish getups and makeups. Some of these girls can carry it off really well, but some of them can actually make your eyes bleed. 
When i came across this girl, even before i could raise my camera to my eye, she gave me this brilliant smile. I didn’t even have to ask her if i could take her photograph. And it was a welcome change to see a normally dressed girl in that cosplay heaven.

Intl Saturdays 36: Airport reflections

While waiting at the Narita airport to take me and my group to Oita, I was having a blast making photographs of aeroplanes landing and taking off. But after a while it started to get boring.

While composing a picture of the zebra crossing, i noticed that the couple sitting on the bench bang opposite the glass wall, was being reflected and decided to make them the subject instead. While the woman was fidgety, i really liked the almost zen-like expression on the man’s face. He may as well have been bored for all i care.

Take Care,
