This is one of the circus performers from yesterday’s photo in the final stage of a sommersault.

I don’t know how clear it is from the photo but this is not a mirror image. It is actually two different circus performers held up by two different hands! The photo is cropped and flipped horizontally from the original.

Another one from the circus. This guy did some amazing stuff along with a fellow gymnast.

A little over a week ago I went to a circus with some friends, a circus which is apparently one of the best and most well known in Germany. Of course, my camera went with me and I got some photos I’m satisfied with. Here is one of them.

I’ve never really posted any fun shots here so inspite of my misgivings I decided to post this. The woman to the right is my friend Katya whom the regulars among you may recognize from [here](http://www.visual.arthedains.com/index.php?showimage=106). I had gone with her to a Vivienne Westwood retrospective in Dusseldorf, a city close by. After we had seen the show we were walking around near the Rhine when we saw the poster and she asked me to take a photo of her next to it. After the usual ‘I was here’ snap I asked her to do an imitation of Westwood in the poster. This is what she came up with!

This one is dedicated to these five nice people. They are from India and are studying law there. I ran into them in Vienna. We had some great time together.

Another one from the archives. I didn’t post this before as I wasn’t sure about it. Obvious criticisms would be that the composition is too centric, the perspective isn’t right and perhaps I should have framed it a bit differently, including the whole body of the climber for example. But having said that I like the way it looks in monochrome and the contrast. So here it is. Feel free to voice your criticism through email.

I know this is a bit blurred and unsharp (it was shot handheld in very low light) but I like his natural smile.

I’ve been posting at random over the past few days, something new and something old. This is something slightly old. There was something about the way the woman was standing and observing the scene that made me reach for my camera and capture this.

This is a photo from the same time and place as this [one](http://www.visual.arthedains.com/index.php?showimage=174). This is something of a pseudo-IR photo as I used only the red channel data during conversion to b/w. I think it gives the photo a certain soft mood.
