#Photography #Street #streetphotography #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome #people #kids Kids are always mesmerized by street entertainment, which makes for interesting pictures.

#Photography #Boats #sea #Dhows #sails I love the elegance of sails and sailboats - they have a beauty & charm that can never be found in so-called motor-yachts!

#Poetry #Memory If only I remembered when The sunlight on my face was the light from my heart. If only I remembered when There was no when, in places of no time. If only I remembered when There was no need to remember pasts & then, If only I remembered when There was nothing to remember.

#Photography #Forest #Trees #Sunlight Even in the darkest forests, sunlight finds a way through the trees. I once knew a man who searched in vain, the forest to find… But all he saw around him was trees.

#Photography #seascape #boats #sunsets The fishing village close to where I grew up. I'd walk down to the beach to get some shots of beached fishing boats and some great sunsets. (These were digitized from my old kodachrome slides)

#Photography #sea #boats #ocean #Dhows Seems these beautiful ocean-going cargo sailboats (Dhows), are now just history remnants of a time gone by. What a loss to beauty on the oceans.

#Photography #sea #boats #ocean #Dhows It seems these beautiful boats (Dhows), I was told, have disappeared from the scene in Bombay Harbor. They have melted into history.

#Photography #medical #xrays A couple of my old Xrays which taken well before CT Scans were invented. The one of the neck is a 'tomograph' or an image slice (not CT - done the old fashioned way) showing a tumour in the airway of the patient (circled). Also included a shot of a surgery in progress.

#Photography #animals #nature #spider #butterfly #tiger Found these pics from the old slides I dug out from the basement! The tiger was in a zoo, of course! 😆 The spider images were sandwiched double-exposure experiments. All shot on Ektachrome slide film on my old OM1

#Photography #sailing #portraits #people #blackandwhitephotography I just have to pay homage to these 2 guys (long gone now) the pros who looked after our boats. Both were named Madhu & were my mentors since I was a kid of 8. The kindest of men with infinite knowledge of the sea... Continued...

#Photography #boats #sea #beach An old fishing boat in India, beached at low tide.

#Photography #boats #sailing #yachtracing #sea Found these old slides which my Dad shot, of my brother and I winning the Olympic Trials in Fireballs, back in 1988. (My brother is the one on the trapeze). Those were the fun days!

#Photography #clouds #weather #sky #storms #landscapes Finally, the lovely Spring like weather we had for the last 3 days has come to an end 😢 This is what snow-packed clouds look like - threatening! Swirling clouds - almost cyclonic in formation.

#Photography #clouds #storms #helicopters #rescue A helicopter from Search & Rescue flies into the teeth of a storm to search for for a missing hiker. Who in their right mind would hike onto a mountain in this weather? Just puts the SAR folks in danger trying to save his/her life!

Message to Sen. Blumenthal and all other politicians - You just cannot 'Overhaul' ICE! If that were possible, they could have overhaul the Gestapo and the SS. The only way is a complete removal!

The whole lot of them, including Melanoma, are total sickos!

Alex Pretti's killers are now known: Jesus Ochoa & Raymundo Gutierrez. This is thanks to ProPublica. It's a travesty and intolerable that Homeland Security & the Justice Dept have hidden these federal agents' identities. @markjacob.bsky.social & I discuss. www.americaamerica.news/p/unmasking-...

#photography #people #pets #kids #family Pulled out a big carton with all my old slides from way back, when it was all film. Got myself a slide copier & converted them to digital. Completed 75 so far & only 1500 to go! Here's my son at 2 with our very first child (my son and hair Charlie!) 😁
