Concrete cobweb

Before-After, Photography

This is a picture of a humongous spider cobweb that some people mistake for a glass dome. The picture was taken at Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson airport. Here are my artboard renditions of the picture.

New York

Photography, Travel

New York is my favorite city in the United States of America, I love the vibe, I love the buzz, I love the food and I love how lively the city is even at 3 am. Here is a view of the city through my lens.

Cafe for the soul

Photography, Travel

Some cafes cater to your need for food, some cafes cater to your need for socialization and some cater to your need for amazing Instagram pictures. How often do you go to a cafe to feed your soul?

If you live in a city, you would be consciously aware of all the cafes that sprout in your locality and the numbers are huge. What does it take to stand out from the crowd? and how far would you go to break away from clutter? ‘Echoes’ in Koramangala, Bengaluru, in my opinion, does a lot to stay unique.

For starters…

(Text: Sign Language Spoken here… Mind it)

The cafe is operated by deaf and mute.

I cannot attempt to describe what is more interesting, whether it is the fact that the cafe is operated by differently abled or how hassle-free and effective are the operations.

Here is a walkthrough of their completely admirable operations…

STEP 1: Ring the bell for service

IMG_0147

Step 2: Write down your order (clearly). Check and re-check.

Step 3: Tadaaaaa

IMG_0159

They serve authentic filter coffee in a ‘matka‘ and that is not sweetened to death.

Step 4: Chill out, read all the amazing quotes on the walls and to talk to the staff in sign language.

Step 5.1: If you are ready for more…

Step 5.2: and if you are done…

IMG_0165

How cool is this? This is my first time in such a cafe and I was blown by the meticulous attention to service.

Here is a picture of the wonderful, happy, courteous and confident staff

I would go back and spend some time here every time I go to Bengaluru and I recommend all my friends in Bengaluru to do the same!

Experiments on the artboard

Before-After, Photography

I am a huge fan of all the Adobe software. Until yesterday I used photoshop to edit all my pictures. Adobe Lightroom is my new discovery. I might be a little late in discovering this, in fact, this ain’t even a discovery, however, I can’t help but flaunt my love for the software.

Most of my candid shots lack the ideal light exposure and this software works great for fixing this.

Here is the photograph of adorable 80-year-old grandmother. This picture was shot on iPhone 7.
