Standing Strong

Kolkata conversations make me quite nostalgic. Having spent the maximum time away from home there, the place has a special spot in my heart. This is another one of those photographs of the monument which is synonymous with Kolkata after ofcourse, Howrah Bridge:) The entire garden surrounding Victoria Memorial gives one so many different angles and styles to shoot the monument. Luckily this particular strech of flowers was quite close to the lake wherein i could catch the reflection.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams..

November 15, 2008Posted in UncategorizedTagged black n white photography, Borivli, Boulevard of broken Dreams, Green Day, inspiration, memory, National Park, nostalgia, reflections, songs8 Comments

“I walk a lonely road,
The only one that i have ever known,
Dont know where it goes,
But it’s home to me and i walk alone…”

I was thoroughly impressed with this song, when i first heard it. At a certain level i guess everyone among us can relate to the four lines above. I definitely could when i had just passed out of college and was posted at various locations, thanks to my job. There used to be times when i just walked alone for miles, without a care in the world. Thats when i began to appreciate the song even more.

I have been inspired by a lot of songs, and tried to freeze the, in my memory via images. This one song in particular has motivated me to click a series of images.

This photograph was clicked at National Park, Borivli.

Victoria Memorial – Reflections 2!!

November 3, 2008Posted in UncategorizedTagged Earl of Minto, Kolkata, Maidan, reflections, Victoria Memorial6 Comments

Victoria Memorial in Kolkata is a very famous landmark. covering an expansive area, this structure is very grand. It is quite a contrast to the Maidan bang opposite it, in the sense that the Memorial complex is so serene, so calm. The gardens in the complex, the silent waters, the exotic flowers planted all around, the grand trees sans leaves, is a treat for sore eyes. Keep aside atleast a couple of hours to fully experience the monument and the surroundings.

I had taken another refection shot of this structure titled Victoria Memorial – Reflections This time around, the sun was setting and the atmosphere was slowly turning dark at the Victoria Memorial. The lights had come up. The placid water body seemed like a mirror, reflecting the bronze statue of the Late Earl of Minto, Viceroy and Governor General of India (1905-1910).

Perspective

August 1, 2008Posted in UncategorizedTagged abstract photography, Flurys, insignia, Kolkata, Park Street, reflections8 Comments

I was at Flury’s for a heavy breakfast. A thing that Flury’s, Kolkata is renowned for. Located in Park Street, Kolkata, with a very European feel, this is one cafe that just cannot be missed in the food capital of Kolkata.

Anyways, we were waiting for the order to arrive. I was searching for photo ops in that duration. After having clicked the interiors from my seat (they really dont like photography inside), i noticed the insignia of Flurys being reflected on the water surface. I drank a few sips and placed the glass on the Flurys paper base, so that the complete reflection could be noticeable. The result is as seen above.

Leaning Elphinstone?!

June 25, 2008Posted in UncategorizedTagged architechtural marvel, architechture photogaphy, art district, Elphinstone college, Kala Ghoda, reflections6 Comments

Kala Ghoda Art District is an art lovers paradise. I particularly love the whole arty feel to the place. With so many Art Galleries around and the street art gallery with artists in their element, is a sight to behold. With so much art happening around, one really gets the nitro boost as far as creativity is concerned. It was probably this boost of creativity that prompted me to see the Royal Elphinstone college, the architechtural marvel, from a different perspective.

Clicking the facade of the structure head on would be very cliche, i thought. Plus clicking so ordinary a shot would not really do justice to the creative, artistic vibes in the air. So while walking under the arch of the college thinking of ideas to capture a unique photograph, i came across the reflection of the massive structure on the rear glass of this parked car. The entire structure was visible, but not in high detail. Still i thought, this is a unique moment, and no one would capture another similiar kinda photograph as there is a slim chance of the car being parked in the similiar place with similiar light conditions and as clear a sky.

Here i just wanted to capture the reflections of the lights and the top dome of the Memorial onto the still water around. Thankfully the surface of the water was plain and there were no disturbances.
