I have lived in Mumbai over sixty years or more beyond my old house Khatau Bhuvan was the sea front I still remember the giy who sold snacks called bhel this area was called Cuffe Parade one of my girlfriend and I would meet when the land was being reclaimed from the sea now it is concrete jungle of high rise towers for the rich and the mighty there are slums beyond and a fishing village .

We moved out in 1963 to Strand Colaba ..we still have the house my brother Zahir lived there .

Mumbai has changed a lot I relocated to Bandra after I got a job in 1983 we bought our first house at a fishing village Danpada Khar than came the riots Hindu Muslim riots 93 we lost everything we had to start from scratch lived in safe house went to Colaba for few weeks my Hindu boss film producer let us stay in a bunglow at Juhu than shifted us to Andheri link road we finally took a house in Bandra Ranwar East Indian commune .

Finally got our own house at De Monte Street Bandra we sold it in 2005 again took a place on rent opp Mehboob Studios till we got the new house Bandra Reclamation we have lived here since 2007 .

The picture I have posted shows how Mumbai is changing sprawling slums give way to condos towers skyscraper s.

I shot this picture in central Mumbai .

Lots of old house bungalows shanties are being eased out ..I love to shoot East Indian and modern architecture...

When I go to a friend's house in Colaba he stays on the ninth floor I can see my old house now the building is called Jony CastleI can see Sassoon docks and even the Taj Mahal hotel.

I shoot nostalgia when I shoot pictures of building s houses .

Destination Google!On Monday Feb 1, I'm speaking at Google for their Authors@Google program. The whole thing will be recorded, so I'll be able to share it back with the world here once it goes up. You can find out more by following @GoogleTalks. And thanks to Mike Wiacek @MikeWiacek who is the head of the Google Photog Club and to Cliff Redeker @mcrsquared for getting the whole thing set up... I am excited!Later that afternoon, I'm giving a private photography workshop to people at Google back in one of their secret rooms... That should be a lot of fun too. I'll be going through, in person, what I have in the HDR Tutorial here on the site.There is a public photowalk and talk on Thursday, Feb 4 at Stanford. В We'll meet at 4 PM at the The Oval, and then meet at 5:30 in one of the auditoriums for the talk.Private Tour at Hearst CastleI'm driving up the coast towards Silicon Valley, and I decided to take my time and leisurely drive up Highway 1. В I'm doing my best to fill the trip with planned and unplanned adventures.I spent a big chunk of the day up at Hearst Castle. В I was given a private tour whilst guarded by one of LAPD's finest, who is now a security guard at the castle. В I had carte blanche to go anywhere and shoot everything - it was totally amazing! В I got into the wine cellar, into the top two spires where there are tiny bedrooms, and all over the place. В It was just amazing -- I have not had time to process the photos yet... but... you won't believe it!Daily Photo - Big Sur in the Morning5:30 AM. В Alarm goes off. В It's always painful. В People that say they are "morning people" -- I think they are lying. В But, when in a beautiful place, I always force myself, military style, to pop out of bed. В There are hikes to be made and photos to take!I stayed at the Ragged Point Inn. В My room had a little fireplace and everything (which made it even harder to get out of bed!). В After I got downstairs, I started a little hike to get a good vantage of the coast and the sunrise. В Of course, there was a fence blocking the best bit, so I jumped over it like Carl Lewis (a much older, whiter, and less jumpy Carl Lewis), and edged along the rocky coast to get a good spot. В I forgot to put on my hiking shoes and mistakenly donned my Cole-Haans while in the dark. В Big mistake. В Those don't make for good hiking shoes, especially after five minutes of getting soaked in morning dew from the foliage I was ripping my way through.But, I had on my earphones and was blasting away music... В all was good... the sun came up, the clouds were perfect, and I took this photo.from Trey Ratcliff at www.stuckincustoms.com

Franklin Castle by Erik

Franklin Castleis purported to be the most haunted house in Ohio.

The house was built in 1865 by architects Cudell & Richardson for Hannes Tiedemann, a German immigrant.[4] On January 16, 1881, Tiedemann's fifteen-year-old daughter Emma succumbed to diabetes. The house saw its second death not long afterwards when Tiedemann's elderly mother, Wiebeka, died. During the next three years the Tiedemanns would bury three more children, giving rise to speculation that there was more to the deaths than met the eye.

To distract his wife, Luise, from these tragedies, Tiedemann began extensive construction on the home, adding a ballroom which runs the length of the house in the fourth floor of the manor. Also during this building, turrets and gargoyles were added to the edifice's facade, giving the house an even more pronounced "castle" appearance.

It is rumored that there were hidden rooms and passageways that were used for bootlegging during Prohibition. Though rumored, none of these rooms or passageways exist other than a small stairway used by servants from the kitchen to the front door.

Luise Tiedemann died from a liver disease on March 24, 1895, at the age of fifty-seven. Hannes sold the house to the Mullhauser family, and by 1908 he and the entire Tiedemann family were dead,[5] leaving no one to inherit his considerable personal wealth.

Rumors of crimes committed in the house by Tiedemann (including sexual indiscretions and murder) have contributed to Franklin Castle's reputation as a haunted house.

The Crown and CastleI 02, Dalston Junction, E8 by wayne37

Big rough one on Dalston junction. The upstairs room was a mainstay for DIY gigs; punk and indie bands, poetry, throughout the 70's and 80's.

Closed sometime in the 90's? Nice noodle bar now downstairs.
