In the daily grind, processes and structures frequently look alike. Though it often seems different, they aren't present right from the start. Quite the contrary applies because the majority slowly creeps into everyday life over time. Eventually, they leave us with the feeling as if there has never been anything else.
Therefore it is simple to quickly get used to the same routines, people, places, and events that provoke the same behavior, reactions, and perceptions. As they find themselves a comfortable place in the daily grind, they make us believe that there is no alternative.
It is tempting to follow the routine's call to stay at a standstill because it promises reliability. However, this behavior also makes it impossible to leave the comfort zone and discover which viewpoints exist outside the monotonic daily grind.

I think I borrowed this idea of making things out of random color blobs from Elio. Trying to loosen up and get used to markmaking/lines with gouache.
While capturing this scene in the streets of Hanoi, I wanted to seize this daily dance between tradition and modernity. The street vendor, protected by their transparent raincoat and sun hat, stands out against a wall of urban graffiti - this visual collision is precisely what I was looking for. I chose black and white to transcend the anecdotal and reach for the universal: the daily struggle, the dignity of work, the persistence of traditional ways in a rapidly modernizing world. Waiting in the rain for the precise moment when the vendor would cross the pedestrian crossing, I wanted to create a composition where the lines on the ground, the bicycle's silhouette, and the geometry of the metal shutters would structure the image while leaving room for the poetry of the moment. It's a tribute to these invisible workers who keep Hanoi's heart beating.
Thalankuppam is a small fishing hamlet, at the extreme north of Madras city. A river - called variously the Kourtaliayaar, Mogathwaram, Thalankuppam - meets the sea here, at Thalankuppam. A wide, sandy beach, broken piers, fishing boats, and more make for a great way to spend the evening.
Thalankuppam, otherwise just a small dot in the map of Madras, has one little thing going for it. Fresh fish. Locals and people from far flock to the daily and weekly fish market here. Fish here is sold in big lots, and buyers bid for it.
Apparently, the British Raj too bought its fish from here. They would board their ships at the Fort St. George, sail north for 17 kilometres, and buy their lord's favourite here, 200 years ago.
More about Thalankuppam, from my post on Metroblogging Chennai
