I don’t know when and how I got involved with this addiction named photography. But, somehow I fail to forget that sleepless night with my friend (Ray Frames), when we talked about life, art, feature planning, cinematography and not-to-forget photography.
It all began in the winter of 2010, when may be by luck or my stupid colleague Mr. Amitabh Dixit (I haven’t still decided if he is my best friend, so I'm just addressing him as a NICE PERSON.), I happened to have a DSLR in my hands and it did not take me long to realize that I loved photography.
For me, photography is a journey, which started with visits to different cities, few photo walks in Delhi, experiments, workshops and of course FLICKR. I embraced every method and means to enhance my knowledge in the domain.
Now, there seems to be just two passions in my life; loving my wonderful Cam and my life (I love myself)....sorry it should go the other way....my wonderful life and my Cam!
I like to capture everything around me; life scenes, intimate moments, portraits, streets, dramatic landscapes, etc. My only wish is to try and share my emotions and vision of the world with the viewer.
However, don't expect much from my stream because my inner artist is still hungry and exploring the fascinating world of photography. There is still so much to learn. Rest of the things you may say better.
I would like to add that Flickr gives me a lot of inspiration. I enjoy this community, interaction with contacts and fellow photographer friends, who have been humble to encourage me and upgraded my knowledge everyday.
Thank you all for your visits, comments, feedback, favorites and gallery....it's well appreciated!
Cette figure en pied représente Avalokiteshvara, le bodhisattva de la compassion, l’une des entités les plus vénérées du bouddhisme du mahâyâna. Il est identifiable grâce au petit « Buddha de l’Ouest », Amitâbha, visible dans sa couronne. Son front est paré d’un diadème quelque peu inhabituel qui pourrait relever d’influences étrangères. Par sa position légèrement déhanchée, et son modelé subtil et doux, cette oeuvre est caractéristique de l’art du Phnom Da. Le visage présente un nez long, fin et légèrement aquilin la chevelure est traitée en mèches calamistrées tombant en cascade dans le dos. Le vêtement est une simple dhotî au plissé rayonnant. Le poli soigné de la sculpture, caractéristique de bien des oeuvres au Cambodge, accentue la douceur des transitions entre les masses qui constituent le corps, tout de sobriété et de mesure. Ce traitement raffiné et détaillé des éléments qui composent le visage ainsi que le soin apporté à l’exécution générale pourraient impliquer un patronage royal.
Les étais assurant une meilleure solidité et soutenant chaque bras, se retrouvent dans de nombreuses rondes-bosses de l’époque préangkorienne, encore techniquement hésitante.
Ma minute culturelle et artistique hivernale.
Je suis toujours en panne d'imagination photo, et surtout d'éclairage naturel propice à de la vraie bonne photo en extérieur…
En résumé, en attente du printemps.
Et, en conséquence directe, je me contente aujourd’hui d’une photo dominicale d’une parfaite ordinarité photographique, mais néanmoins repêchée ici (à reculons), pour son intérêt touristique.
La grande salle du Bouddha, au sein du Musée Cernuschi, second musée asiatique remarquable à Paris (petit et intéressant, même si, bien entendu, assez loin des richesses de l'incontournable Musée Guimet)
Au centre, sur sa fleur de lotus (et sur sa table carrée de jardin Ikea en version XXL !), le paisible bouddha japonais Amida (ou Amitâbha, dhyani-bouddha de l’Ouest, dit “de la terre pure” ou “de la lumière infinie”)
Reconnaissons au passage chez les Bouddhistes leur excellent sens marketing de la formule poétique, que l’art austère, expiatoire, voire martyrophile et sanguinolent, des trois religions monothéistes, au Dieu commun vengeur, a beaucoup plus de mal à intégrer…
Ce qui ne m’empêche pas de m’enflammer toujours autant pour Fra Angelico, Raphaël ou Caravage, même lorsqu’ils sombrent un peu trop dans le divin pathos ! 😃
Un autre style !
Cette statue monumentale en bronze du XVIIIème siècle (époque Edo), semi-détruite et abandonnée dans la végétation après l'incendie d'un temple tokyoïte, à été sauvée de l’oubli par Henri Cernuschi, riche banquier et économiste franco-italien, grand voyageur et amateur d’art asiatique, qui la redécouvre et la rachète en 1871, la transporte en pièces détachées du Japon à Paris, puis la réassemble et la restaure, à l'intérieur de son hôtel particulier parisien, en bordure du Parc Monceau, bâtiment devenu désormais le musée d'art asiatique qui porte son nom.
La Pagoda Phap Bao se encuentra fuera de la Ciudad Antigua.
Tres famosas imágenes de Buda se encuentran en el complejo, el Buda Shakyamuni, el Buda Amitabha y el Bodhisattva Maitreya.
Fue construida originalmente en 1981 y fue completamente renovada en el año 2000 por Thich Hanh Niem.
Au centre le Geungnakjeon ou pavillon du Bouddha Amitabha, le Bouddha du Paradis de l’ouest (Terres pures au Japon) et le pavillon de la cloche (à gauche, caché en partie)
———-
Le temple Tongdo-sa fait partie des trois joyaux du bouddhisme coréen consacrés respectivement au Bouddha (Tongdo-sa), au Dharma (Haein-sa) et au Sangha (Songgwang-sa).
C'est le temple le plus important de Corée car il conserve les reliques du Bouddha et qu’il est très ancien. Il a été fondé en 643 durant l’époque du royaume du Silla par maître Jajang qui a ramené les reliques. C’est un des 4 centres de formation (Chongrim) au Bouddhisme en Corée . Il fait l'objet de nombreux pèlerinages et de séjours de bouddhistes.

Le Bouddha Amitayus "Longévité infinie"
Le buddha Amitayus (Amitabha ou Amida au Japon) assis sur un socle formant une terrasse de lotus. Il tient le flacon de longévité dans ses mains jointes et porte un diadème et un collier. Il est vénéré pour obtenir une longue durée de vie. Amitabha est le Bouddha des Terres pures de l'ouest, qui est l'équivalent du Paradis des chrétiens. C'est Amida et sa suite qui descend sur terre pour venir chercher un défunt et l'amener pour renaître dans les Terres pures de l'ouest.

Oeuvre présentée dans l'exposition : "Médecines d’Asie, l’art de l’équilibre". Musée national des arts asiatiques - Guimet, Paris

À travers un parcours scénographique par-delà les frontières et le temps, l’exposition transporte le visiteur dans un univers où se rencontrent pratiques médicales millénaires et œuvres d’art exceptionnelles, évoquant la méditation et le chamanisme, l’équilibre des énergies et la pharmacopée, le massage et l’acupuncture, l’astrologie et l’exorcisme...

Le sujet de cette feuille est tiré du chapitre 12 du Sūtra du Lotus. Lorsque le bodhisattva Manjusri se trouvait à l'assemblée bouddhique du Pic du Vautour, il se rendit au palais d'un roi dragon pour y diffuser le Sūtra du Lotus. Parmi ceux qui écoutaient son enseignement se trouvait la fille de huit ans du roi dragon. Ayant reçu cet enseignement et atteint l'éveil, elle devint un bouddha, illustrant ainsi la puissance du vœu de Manjusri. Les vagues déferlent de toutes parts. Manjusri prend l'apparence d'un moine et s'assoit dans le palais du roi dragon. Le roi dragon, ses ducs, ses ministres, sa reine, ses dames de compagnie et des créatures marines se rassemblent devant la salle, faisant solennellement des offrandes et écoutant attentivement le sūtra. (Extrait du catalogue du musée de Taipei)
Exposition "Dragons"
Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Paris
5000 ans d’histoires et de légendes des dragons d’Asie se révèlent à travers cette exposition conçue avec le Musée national du Palais de Taipei à Taïwan. Le dragon originaire de Chine n’est en rien la créature maléfique et cracheuse de feu désignée sous ce nom en Occident. Il incarne plutôt l’énergie vitale universelle et l’élément aquatique. La terre dépend de sa toute-puissance pour bénéficier des bienfaits du ciel... (Extrait du site de l'exposition)

Abhishek Bachchan, @bachchan , completed 25 years in films.
Quite undervalued as an actor IMO, mostly because he is often compared to his legendary father Amitabh Bachchan!

Imponente imagem de Buda Amitabha, com 10 metros de altura e dez toneladas de peso, no pátio do Templo Budista de Foz do Iguaçu.
O Templo Budista de Foz do Iguaçu foi construído em 1996 por comunidades chinesas da tríplice fronteira entre Brasil, Paraguai e Argentina e deixa muitos visitantes impressionados pela sua beleza, principalmente da réplica de concreto do famoso Buda sentado Mi La Pu-San, de 7 metros de altura.
Além do Buda, há 120 estátuas representando cada reencarnação de Buda na terra e um templo principal com mais de dois mil metros quadrados e dois andares, onde se localiza a Casa do Mestre.

As asas congeladas
******************************
Estas asas congeladas
Não é uma setença de morte
É a vida lutando
Para além do último suspiro.
Toda a beleza deste mundo
Você pode imaginar
Deslumbrando e dançando
Em minhas asas esvoaçantes.
E, quanto mais eu dancei
Mais perto chequei
Cada movimento que eu fiz
Desafiou o perigoso fim.
Ainda assim eu beijei
Cada flor com leveza e suavidade
O êxtase da vida...
Agora, as sementes podem germinar.

The frozen Wings
*******************************
These wings frozen
Not a sentence of death
Is life fighting
Even after the last breath
All the beauty of this world
You can imagine
Dazzled and danced
On my fluttering wings.
And the more I danced
The closest I came.
Every move I made
Hailed the dangerous end.
Still, I've kissed
Each flower soft and delicate
The ecstasy of life ...
Now, the seeds can germinate.

Amitabha Chakrabari
January 21, 2011
Museo Cernuschi. París. Este tipo de Buda es conocido como de luz infinita y plenamente consciente. Es un Buda representante de la suprema mente de todos los Budas. A su alrededor, cinco niños pequeños rezan sobre las flores de loto. Evocando la condición para la existencia resurgimiento último en la tierra pura de Sukhavati, la "feliz" Buda paraíso West Amitābha (Amida).

- I just realised this photo was in Explore :) - at #438 on Dec 24, 2007 !!
- Sad at Kodachrome's retirement!! - this was the result of my first macro experiments on 'expired' Kodachrome film. I shot 8 such rolls and I guess they would be my last! The results were stunning even on so called 'expired' film. Slides are fun.
“Frankly I've never really subscribed to these adjectives tagging me as an 'icon', 'superstar', etc.
I've always thought of myself as an actor doing his job to the best of his ability.”
(Amitabh Bachchan - Indian actor, b.1942)
I was going to Allahabad in order to catch a train to go to Delhi.
There was a little town on the way where the traffic was jammed at a crossroad.
Suddenly a monkey jumped on the car asking for sweets.
As I was searching for some food he saw a man on a bicycle and jumped on his back grabbing his shirt as if he knew him and was used to do this.
This moment spread happiness in the street, even the kid in the background on the picture is laughing.
Later as I was looking at this image I was surprised to see that the man on the left looks the legendary Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan (Big B).
Then this image takes another meaning as the unexpected guest might not be the monkey anymore...

A vendor on a beach at Utorda in South Goa. The ice cream is branded as "Big B" and is a take off on the great Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan who has always been called by that moniker "Big B". ( The linkage to the site is purely for inofmation. the site maintained by the actor makes excessive usage of deleting comments, editing posts etc...and is pure exercise in johnnie come lately to the internet nirvana )
Utorda beach is clean and wonderful in winter. A restaurant going by the name of "Zeebop" is the rage and has a most amazing setting right on the sands. It is a comfortable spot compared to restaurants like Brittos and others on the North Goa Beaches of Baga Calangute etc as it is not festering with aggressive peddlars of junk. The food is good most times but the last time I was there 3 nights ago they made a hash of the Beef chilly fry goan style. They served a better version later but this is what Zeebop is.....excellent setting and ambience but food can be patchy. Brittos the rage of the restaurants in North Goa, on the other hand will give you good food day in day out. Cheers !! Hic !!!
This shot is a crop out of a larger picture and is put up here to show the conformity to the rules of composition compared to the original which was a deliberate break of the rules.

"Raring to go
Further and beyond
The audacious instincts
Rips across hurdles
To delve deeper
Into the unknown.........."
- Amitabh Radiance
Abhishek Bachchan, son of Bollywood god Amitabh Bachchan, is all over the place. In every State of the country, every city, every village and every street, one cannot but come across his face. He's not an exception, though, as advertising seems to be the thing to do for most famous Bollywood actors. Whether it be for Pespi, Mobile phones or brands of crisps, they'll just go for it.
Being considered as great examples for a lot of Indians, especially the young people (they're educated, rich and beautiful, and most importantly, they usually look whiter than a Spaniard), their influence is understandably huge. India has always had this tendency to deifiy everything. And from Bollywood film sets to the holy cow, there's a fine line.

Buddha Amitabha formant le geste de prédication
La période Heian s'étend approximativement sur quatre siècles. De 794, année où la cour impériale déménagea dans sa nouvelle capitale : Heian-Kyô ("Capitale de la paix et de la tranquillité"; actuelle Kyôtô); à 1185, lorsque la puissance des Taira (Heiké) déclina et que le pays tomba sous la domination du pouvoir militaire établi par Minamoto no Yoritomo à Kamakura (qui ouvre la période dite Kamakura).
