Happy Accidents

Shot on film with my 35mm Nikon FM2. Developed and scanned at a careless, stupid film processing lab in madras. Resulted in some beautiful landscapes. Happy accidents as Conrad Hall would say :)

The Silent Gallery.

I did this series in Delhi as a part of this photography workshop conducted by Beat Presser (swiss photographer) in December 08. We spent 10 amazing days exploring the concept 'My Oasis Of Silence'. And the deal was, by the end of the workshop every photographer should come up with a series of photographs depicting his/her oasis of silence.

I found my silence in the ever silent walls and ceilings of the 'National Gallery of Modern Art'. As they have to be latent and take a backseat so that the paintings by the great artists can be in the limelight.

Every time I go to Delhi I find myself spending hours at this beautiful Gallery.

Wall as usual

I really don't have to write anything.

Mumbai edit

One fine day Hayden comes up to me and says that he wants some cool looking slides to project on a screen behind the band that he plays in. They were suppose to perform at some concert. Now I get hyper about it and say that I'll only make a video and that he's suppose to pay for the travel and other small expences. :P He discusses it with his band and says yes. Pamila aka pami has a new camera that she wants to play with. I tell her about this small project and she gets hyper about it. We decided and shot this on a Sunday.

Music is from the movie Aamir and it's been edited by Chandana.
