Sounds of the Sea

Reflections of the Pink Boy

He stood deep in thought looking at the waves crashing against the rocks but I couldn't stop looking at his bright pink hood.

Vidhana Soudha Photographer

Ravi a photographer near Vidhana Soudha who has been photographing visitors for the last 20 years readily agreed to pose like his customers for me. Vidhana Soudha earlier thronged with visitors and photographers now bears a barren look due to the recent Metro construction.
The Metro construction has forced many to give up their profession of photography to venture into other avenues to earn their daily bread. Ravi one of the few still lingers around in hope of a brighter day.
The price payed for development.

Excited Kick

The excited kick is a photo I managed to capture at the Panambur beach. A girl holding hands with her brothers rushed to the beach as she neared the waves she stood for a second not knowing what to do, in excitement of seeing the waves lapping at her feet she kicked at one splashing the water all over. The evening of joy for her had begun with an Excited Kick.

My Little Brother

The colourful dresses of the new bride and groom that arrived at the temple caught her eyes. Picking up her younger brother holding him tight over her back she ran towards the temple gate.
As she ran past me I smiled at her and lifted my camera, she stopped for a second and smiled for the picture, and continued her run to watch the people entering the temple.
I called after her hoping to talk to her but in vain was my shouts that couldn't force her to turn back to me.

I stood there watching her, she made her way past the people to take a look at the bride, the beautifully dressed bride and the handsome groom walked past her, she smiled but their eyes would not look down upon her. She stood there watching all the guests walk past her, I couldn't help but wonder what fascinated her in a normal wedding gathering that a girl of her age had witnessed on several occasions.

As I watched her closely it hit me, I smiled as I watched her one hand hold her brother tight and the other explain the gathering to him. I smiled as I watched her introduce the world to her little brother.

Reach to the Skies

Reach to the skies is a picture from the Panambur beach in Mangalore. I always wanted to shoot a silhouette and the beach provided a perfect opportunity. I have safely say that this picture is the start of many such that will follow. I have fallen in love with silhouette photography.
