How will we define a photograph?

A world without photographs

A woman in the corner. I walked past quickly and shot this photo with my Fujifilm X100V. Note the mobile phone in India. The phone is a lifeline for many people, and why not? It is not just about social media; it's about communication and support systems. Nik Collection https://tidd.ly/3NdVDy7

Editing is not the final step in the process of 'making a photo.' The last step is sharing that image with the world, either as a print or on social media. Editing involves choices and compromises that you must make. www.rajivchopra.in/p... #podcast

Becoming invisible on the street

I was in Lal Kuan, Delhi, with my Instax Mini Evo Cinema set to the 1940 era dial. I was having fun with this camera. The camera is fun, but use it once in a while! #streetphotography

Stillness in the Heat

This is the last video about my road trip to Uttarakhand, and I want to leave you with a memory of the highways we drove on. Breathtaking in places, chaotic in others, always beautiful..

It was a hot day this summer, and as usual, I had gone down to get an X-Ray done. As I stood outside, I noticed the cars going by and people walking in the scorching sun. Steam emerged from my ears. Instax mini Evo Cinema Premium https://amzn.to/3OxzTlZ #streetphotography #instax

The world is changing, as Paul Bracken understands all too well. Military strategy is changing and the East is changing the way it approaches war and weaponry. Dry reading, but well worth your time. www.goodreads.com/re... amzn.to/4efJtEk?utm_... #bookreviews #bookrecommendations

The Grand Chessboard is a fabulous introduction to the American political mind of the 1990s. Dreams of domination abound. The author is realistic and understands that American hegemony will not last forever. Worth reading. amzn.to/431bF7P?utm_... www.goodreads.com/re...

💥THIS IS WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO: Rubio chose loyalty. Van Hollen chose accountability. That's why one was on defense and the other was asking the questions. We need a leader who puts country over party. Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen, for saying what we are ALL thinking! 💙

Finally, you must edit your photos

We drove along the mountains in Uttarakhand, and in the upper reaches of the hills, the landscape is stunning. The area is prone to landslides and the path that the water has cut away reveals some breathtaking sights.

We were in Nainital for a few hours. Lunch was horrible. Our beer was fantastic. The lake was, as usual, magnificent. The town has become considerably more crowded, with traffic jams making it difficult to walk. But the town still has an immense pull for me, considering I grew up here.
