On a whim, I decided to take an unscheduled trip to Rochester to see the SUNY Geneseo Bhangra Team, aka GB, perform at Rochester’s Fringe Fest. Well the experience turned out to be a lot more than I bargained for as I got an opportunity to shoot the teams performance up front. That, by far,… Read more »

Patas Monkeys on Look Out
There are quite a few mammalian species which are communal. Patas Monkeys are no different. And, in the wild, the communal nature of the group ensures the survival of the species. They quite literally live by the proverb, “You scratch my back, I will scratch yours”. But, besides sleeping eating and taking care of young… Read more »
Smoke Dance
The Sencas, Oneidas, Onondagas, Iroquois, etc have many ceremonial dances in common. One of them happens to be the smoke dance. The smoke dance is one of the more energetic and colourful of the ceremonial dances which I have seen that both men and women participate in. Its energy is displayed in a flurry of… Read more »
Stealthy Snow Leopard Cub
I decided to take a brief moment and step away from the western theme which I had been pursuing whole heartily and post an image which I had shot on a recent trip to the zoo with fellow photographers Lynne and Joe. We had heard that there were two new additions to the snow leopard family… Read more »

I liked the very simple and clean curved structures of these young ferns and more importantly to see them juxtaposed against one another. Because of a simple gut feeling, I chose to go with a sepia… Read more »
The Folds
This is an oldy but a goody. I had spent quite a few days thinking through how I wanted to edit this photo. But after much observation, I decided to settle on something simple but, I think, adequate. Back on April 22, I took a trip with companion photographers Joe Inzalaco and Lynne Fordham to… Read more »
Photography Wars
This is a rather old video that I cam across a long time ago and it is humour never fails to entertain. I saw it as an exact analogy and parody of the sort of photography wars that exist between professional photographers who use different camera systems. I hope that you find it as entertaining… Read more »
Southwick Beach Sunset
It was April 8; Four rather restless photographers followed the setting of the sun to Southwick Beach Park in hopes of catching an amazing sunset. Being one of those photographers, I too got wrapped up in the moment searching for a good sunset shot. After pacing back and forth a long the beach front and… Read more »
The Importance of White Blance
If you are like most photographers, your white balance is set to auto – job well done! For most cameras, if your white balance is set on auto white balance, then your camera will be correct 95% of the time. What happens for the extra 5%? Well your camera can be fooled! The best solution… Read more »
