One incredible blog

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

I do not normally post about other blogs, but I will make an exception for this: http://shaunlunt.typepad.com/shootings/

Flying all alone to Alaska, in a single propeller super cub, with incredible photographs - there is nothing else that can give so much feeling of peace. I am a long distance motorcyclist, and I know how to be jealous of this guy. He is having an experience that is easily the n-th power of what I can get riding a motorcycle in those places. And I have to stick to the land, and only upto what can be remotely called a road.

Way to go Shaun, you are the new God to me.

Life is back on track

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Yeah, my life somehow found a rhythm after a while. Been distracted by a lot of things, and it took time to organize and let things fall in place. I am back to pursuing my original passions in full steam - riding and photography. Well, I wish I could ride far and do some serious travel photography but I would rather wait till my wife is here. For now I am just making images of people, especially children, the most challenging and rewarding subjects I will ever find. I am also loving the use of Photoshop CS3 on my mac, and a bit of InDesign as well.

Did a shoot yesterday at a beautiful house in Belmont hills. Loved the place.

Another shoot tomorrow at Moss beach, in Half moon bay. Should be a great 80-mile ride.

I finally decided to go with a dedicated domain for my professional photography career. My other site www.joydutta.com will still exist, for this blog and riding related stuff. Bought the domain from nameboy.com, and boy, are they fast ! Within 2 minutes of registration and payment my site went live. I shifted the content from my existing site to the new one in just a minute, thanks to rsync.
