A world of innocence in her eyes. So precious. So beautiful.

Look, look! Look at what I can do. I can make mysterious spirals out of silly ribbons. I can twirl and twist a piece of cloth to form the most amazing shapes. See, see! See the shapes I make!

Something from my archives.

With eyes of steel he stares down the world. A man made of darkness and bright sunshine, walking in a world all his own.

Something from my archives. I almost always post portraits in b/w. But there was a certain harmony to the colors in this photo and therefore I refrained from converting it to monochrome. Hope you will the feel the same once you look at the photo!

This was shot wide open in very low light conditions, at high ISO and inside a dimly lit, Cuban themed pub. Therefore, it is a little soft in terms of sharpness and has some noise. But inspite of all that I quite like the way this looks. Has a certain mellow mood to it. Almost like the way one feels after two drinks-reflective and melancholic, thinking about past good times with a nostalgic smile playing on one’s face!

Something from a few weeks back when we had gone to see a World Cup match.

Once upon a time
In a land faraway
There was a man that time forgot

He aged but backwards
The wisdom of age giving way
To the passionate anger of youth

He fought with gods and fairies
To reverse the flow of time
To set right all that was wrong

But alas! destiny denied him
His just victory
He is but a faint memory now
In the eye of his beholder

So in the end Germany’s dream came to an end in the semis at the World Cup. But they did play such exciting football and managed to convert a football-sceptic like me into something of a fan! Hope they will build on what they achieved so far.

Coming to today’s photo, nothing much to say here except that the high key look was a result of processing.

This was actually shot last week right after Germany pulled off that amazing victory over favorites Argentina in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. But with Germany set to take on Italy in a few hours I think it is appropriate to post it now. Viel gluck Deutschland…wir fahren nach Berlin!
