Been exactly one year since I last stepped here. All thanks to friends who ventured this part of the area only to find out much has somewhat changed. As I said before, I miss going to the seas, going back to the basics of photography - away from crazy multi-row panoramas and all that shit. That's the theme I am going for right now and might materialise in my future uploads.
But that's not the only reason why I'm here even though I live so far away... Now, my life is somewhat complicated. I'm almost 27 and reaching critical adulthood years. I am always thinking about the future. However there are times I wish to restart my life all over again. Start from the basics, start from zero.
Here's a song that closely reflects my thoughts that I've been listening to all week... And, someday wish to play a guitar riff from it:

- Brightened the skies & the sea a little.
Just got back from a photo shoot in East Africa. The Black Rhino is the most endangered of the Big Five animals. This magnificent and gentle herbivore is being slaughtered relentlessly for its horn. Horns belong on Rhinos, not 'medicinal' shelves. We must stop this senseless trade before it is too late. Visit my website to see more Rhino and other wildlife photos and information.

Fresno, CA - May 2009
Many of our old photos from around this time on Flickr were shown mostly in medium sizes and they don't expand to full size. Did Flickr have full screen shots back then? Probably, not. Because of that I may have to revisit for posting them again.
Went to kyoto last month and had a conference at the same conference where the worlds famous protocol to save environment, the Kyoto Protocol was signed.
To make everyone remember that we love our earth..its our duty to keep it smile with greenery.
Say NO to the environmental pollution..

The consumer instant print offers a texture, tonal range, and color space unequaled and represents a unique photographic medium. These and other distinctive characteristics have inspired and been employed by countless photographic craftspersons in their work. I have come to admire these qualities and unexpected attributes as a preference for my photographic work. Without access to the variety of instant film types that are offered by Polaroid a large part of my photographic exploration will be halted. These are things that offer me great inspiration and fulfillment, not to mention instant analog gratification, which cannot be underestimated... I am currently in production of a photographic book of my instant print work due out in April of this year.
In the digital age, at the end of the photographic print, generations from now the family photo album will be thrown out with the PC and the SD. Polaroid represents, along with the standard film print, the physical archival of images and the tactical access to unadulterated visual information for and by the the individual. These instant moments are the things that would generaly go un-archived or even un-photographed in other formats, do to the stigmatic wake of the fleeting moment. Yet years later these instant impulses become treasured artifacts representing the true nature of ourselves and those we love.
The end of the instant print will represent a further retreat of traditional photographic technique and options, in the interest of the bottom line and fleeting lower quality digital imaging. There is and will be, in the foreseeable future, a sustainable market for these instant analogue options, whether it will be tapped to the benefit of potential providers and enthusiasts remains to be seen.

"Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side while he would send the crowds away. After sending the crowds away he went up into the hills by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, while the boat, by now far out on the lake, was battling with a heavy sea, for there was a head-wind. In the fourth watch of the night he went towards them, walking on the lake, and when the disciples saw him walking on the lake they were terrified. ‘It is a ghost’ they said, and cried out in fear. But at once Jesus called out to them, saying, ‘Courage! It is I! Do not be afraid.’ It was Peter who answered. ‘Lord,’ he said ‘if it is you, tell me to come to you across the water.’ ‘Come’ said Jesus. Then Peter got out of the boat and started walking towards Jesus across the water, but as soon as he felt the force of the wind, he took fright and began to sink. ‘Lord! Save me!’ he cried. Jesus put out his hand at once and held him. ‘Man of little faith,’ he said ‘why did you doubt?’ And as they got into the boat the wind dropped. The men in the boat bowed down before him and said, ‘Truly, you are the Son of God.’
Having made the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret. When the local people recognised him they spread the news through the whole neighbourhood and took all that were sick to him, begging him just to let them touch the fringe of his cloak. And all those who touched it were completely cured."
– Matthew 14:22-36, which is today's Gospel at Mass.

8 Ways You are harming the Ocean

I photographed these fish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium on a visit there with my kids back in 2007.
Well now… what do you think of these fine monkey puzzle trees, more than 80 years old, in Teddington? They’re pretty fine specimens, wouldn’t you say?
So would I. But guess what? A local man, whose flat overlooks them, wants to have them cut down to make way for… a couple of car parking spaces! No, really.
Last week, at 1.30 in the afternoon, the Teddington Society (of which I'm a member) were alerted to the imminent threat of these trees being felled. But thanks to a flurry of emails and phone calls, and very swift action by the Society and the London Borough of Richmond Council, within six hours a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) had been drafted, issued and applied to these lovely unusual trees.
“Forty years ago”, one of my neighbours told me, “I walked my kids past these trees every morning on our way to school. Of course they must be saved.”
The TPO declares that no person shall “cut down, top, lop, uproot, wilfully damage or wilfully destroy; or cause or permit the cutting down, topping, lopping, uprooting, wilful damage or wilful destruction of any tree specified” in the Order.
So the trees are safe, at least for now. But absurdly, what with the British regard for 'fair play' and all that, Richmond Council is open to objections. So we’re watching like hawks – and meanwhile the Teddington Society has warned all local tree surgeons not to touch these gloriously well-established specimens of Araucaria araucana.
Just six hours from first alert to the application of a TPO. Local democracy in action – with skates on.
