The Musings Of A Bohemian Frog
Anyone who has ever been to Delhi will unavoidably pass by or through Lodhi Gardens, one of my favourite places to be in that marvellous city I used to call home. I loved it so much that it features prominently in Wings At Dawn – for very good reasons. It is majestic, peaceful, mysterious, dynamic,
If there is one photograph that depicts who I am as a photographer, this is it. I don’t jump on the bandwagon and prefer to break free from most norms and standards. A bohemian soul who refuses to be boxed in by person, place or time. Lockdown, isolation, social distancing has given everyone an opportunity
Fatum (lat: ahead, in front) Praemisit (lat: destiny, fate, future) “In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth, or to step back into safety. Growth must be chosen again and gain; fear must be overcome again and again.” – Abraham Maslow Each photographer has a flagship image, one that defines

When this whole pandemic is over and all the quarantines are lifted around the globe, there will be a lot of stories to be told. Thanks to modern technology and our ability to remain connected with one another these days, news travels fast .e.g. microblogging, social media, live streaming, etc. and we can keep abreast

There is nothing like a cold, rainy and dreary winter day to drag me down faster than a falling brick. Thank goodness for the three C’s: cats, candles and cameras.
