A new photo-story every day! You can see my latest photographic work in this gallery ...
What is it that nudges people to share the beautiful things/moments/spaces in their lives with others? I have felt that tangible 'rush' to the head while standing at the mouth of a glacier in Alaska, solitary and so wishing I had someone to put my hand on his/her shoulder and exclaim - "Isn't that just a glorious view?". I have felt it watching the exuberant finish of SeaBiscuit (while watching the movie in my study) at his final race, and that particular summers day in Utah when I continued hiking in a torrential downpour to see the Delicate Arch (while all other hikers turned back) and then for a few seconds the sun had shone through, illuminating the arch and producing the most gorgeous rainbow I have ever seen smack in the middle of the arch and I photographed it! I wanted to share that moment too but I was alone then - thoroughly drenched but grinning ear-to-ear, soaking-in that beautiful moment. And so it is ... with all the changes/growth/evolutions, one thing that has survived in my life is wanting to 'share' - I guess it must be one of these 'default settings' from the factory for our species :), and so this gallery is about 'sharing' - the photographs that I continue to take/create ... these are views that have caught my eye and perhaps even made me go weak-in-the-knees for a moment or two ... these are pics that chronicle the 'regular days' of my life these days -- these pics may not be the 'sexiest' ones out there ... but they are of 'my' days, of the town I live in, people I meet and allow me to offer my bit of that 'lowest common denominator' that threads through all our lives - no matter where we live ... 'humanity'. Welcome!

I only had about 5-6 seconds to compose and take this shot, of a 'Geisha' who was standing by the side of the road, waiting for a cab, in Kyoto. It was just after 5 P.M. and there were hordes of people walking home after work ... I was lucky enough to get a clear view of her for a few seconds without any of the other pedestrians blocking my shot ... it turned out beautifully ... I like to call this one: "Memories of a Geisha", as it is what I remember of seeing her, and associating her beauty with that of the Geisha in the movie - "Memoirs of a Geisha"!
