So I did try be lazy and pushed the unavoidable but anyway here it is my new journal amoghavarsha.com/journal
I will still cross post to LJ until it works.
Also I haven’t put up any images lately though I’ve shot a ton. Here’s one for starters
In the summers, elephants spend a lot of time close to water. When we came to a waterhole expecting a tiger, we saw this guy playing without a care in the world. He was no farther than 200ft.
It was a cold august night in 2006 at the army base in Leh, and after biking for more than 4 days I was spending that time resting in my room. I was sharing my room with an army officer and every evening we would discuss quite a few things and he’d tell me quite a few tales. And this is one of the most important things he told me that night:
its preachy, beware!
My new ride, a 4X4 Safari dicor EX – mountain green. Been wanting this for a longtime for all my jungle travels, with 4 wheel drive and green color its just perfect for the forests. With 140bhp under the hood and a refined 2.2 ltr engine, its powerful and more fuel efficient. And ofcourse I’m not selling the zen
Yesterday we were at a protest to save lalbagh, whose walls have been illegally demolished and trees illegally cut.
The only election candidate to make a presence there was Capt. Gopinath, where were the others? Busy in coffee day?
Some decisions are easily made. Capt Gopinath atleast has served the country, has had a vision to make air travel affordable and showed up for a cause which south bangalore is fighting for. For me having a “cool image” + “foreign education” + “cool dressing” doesn’t just cut, ofcourse lets not even talk about BJP
Leaf birds are one of the most difficult birds to photograph because of the green foliage it roosts in and its own color which blends with the background. Lucky to have it sitting like this.
See here if you can spot the same bird
Quite a bit of travel, Was shooting for JLR, traveling through all there properties, loads of photographs to process. Hopefully sometime soon I should put up new pics. Some more travel ahead. You can catch more updates on my twitter
Also do any of you know of a good 3d/2d freelance animator?
So its Valentine’s day and there’s love in the air. Well there are atleast more signs of love in the air than a regular day. This is not about the valentine’s day but about a bunch of aliens from desperado. Most of these aliens look like us, dress like us, sometimes (rarely) even talk like us. Initially I found it hard to believe we had aliens living with us though Ford prefect has been with us for a while, but after a small bit of thinking I ended up believing the alien story.
Last few weeks have been really lucky in terms of photography. Found freshwater jellyfish in the cauvery river. This is only the third sighting of the species in India, and these are I think the only good photographs of this species in India. More about this here in today’s Deccan Chronicle
