May joyful reminders of Christ's resurrection fill your life with renewed hope, strength, and peace. Happy Easter.
I think this will be the final photo I will post for 2012, everyone. I will just take a moment to reflect gratefully for the opportunities I’ve been given since I moved to Seattle almost six years ago. The path I could have taken, had things worked out in DC, would have completely eliminated my chances of fully engaging in my delirious passion for photography and personal travel.
My family and many of my closest friends, ironically, are very grateful the gig I desperately wanted so badly for several years did not work out and, in retrospect, I wholeheartedly agree. Had it happened, TIA International Photography would have been a mere figment of my imagination, and I would never have come to know any of you through this venue. I do believe in blessings in disguise, and unanswered prayers. Everything happens (or does not happen) for a reason. I thank God for His protection and providence thus far.
With my final photo of 2012, I wish all of you a joyful entry into the new year with blessings of happiness, prosperity, success, and good health.

Psalm 67:1-2
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.
Have a blessed Sunday everyone!
If flowers'n'blossoms be blessings from Nature…
I see blessings as blossoms, along Life's way …

Our congregation put together these "Blessing Bags", in male and female versions, to provide some basic toiletries and necessities to anyone we meet who might be in need.
The greatest difficulty spiritually is to
concentrate upon God, and His bles-
sings are what make it so difficult.
Troubles almost always make us look
to God, but His blessings tend to divert
our attention elsewhere.

The monument to the Seraphim Bishop of Dmitrov. Martyr for the faith, is officially recognised as such in 2000, Bishop Seraphim, in the world Zvezdinskiy, suffered for the faith under the Soviet regime.
Actually, the oppression of the Church touched him back in the early 1920s, when the authorities sentenced him to exile, then it several times arrested and exiled.
Priest during his lifetime enjoyed considerable influence and respect among parishioners.
In 1937 the people's Commissariat of internal Affairs feel the need to get rid of unwanted and obstinate Bishop, and in the same year he was shot.
Now he (and partly, as stated, all victims of persecution), a monument to the side of the Cathedral of the Assumption in his former diocese in Dmitrov.

I took this shot in the famous Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai. There is a custom in all south indian temples where the pilgrims offer money or food to the temple elephant and get blessing from the elephant in return. Usually the pilgrims will bow in front of the elephant and the elephant will tap its trunk in the pilgrims head which is treated as a blessing. The opposite happened here where a foreign pilgrim stood reverse and got blessing from the elephant. It was really funny and interesting.

Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny?
He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery.
And the jinns did He create from a smokeless flame of fire.

I set this one up for my spouse to take, however the magic light was provided by higher powers. Blessings and have a great day.

I was very happy to finally have the opportunity this past fall to do some street portraiture in India and Nepal, something I've been looking forward to doing for some time. This is the first of many shots from my travels that I'll be sharing over the coming weeks and months. I hope you enjoy them!
Prior to my departure, I contemplated buying the Sony 50mm f1.8 lens. However, I decided for this trip to go with the lenses I already owned for portraiture--the Sigma 60mm f2.8, Canon FD 50mm f1.4 and Nikkor 105mm f2.5 AI. Needless to say, I got lots of practice with Sony's incredible "focus peaking" for the manual focus lenses, while my subjects waited patiently! In spite of my relatively bad eyesight, focus peaking enabled me to dial in quite well on the eyes of my kind subjects.
Thank you all so much for your views, comments and faves!

When you think of life, think first about the blessings you have. Don't focus on misfortunes, for they are but a faint shadow.
