Another day

Another post

Another film

This time some color…Fuji superia 800.

All shot in Bombay/India

These are what you get when suri gets a camera…abstract stuff!!! two frames of it!!!

Met up with lalit and went to my old school to shoot. After having an argument with the security guy we managed to get in. This is quite a special place. Best days of my life…lots of fun. I shot my first roll of film in the FM10 right here. These school buses used to be a nice shade of blue…now they are yellow…sad.

We could see the entire town from this point. The school is quite old…build during the british era

Lali…

Thats the IC Curch

School…curch…play ground…cricket and football…brings back fond memories

Apparently this tree flowers once in 15 years

I have updated the site…the sidebar has been removed as i wanted to have bigger images…i will add all the links from the sidebar in a separate page.

Its always fun to shoot with film, i did it when i was in hyderabad. So when i was home(bombay) for summer…i had to shoot some more film. I had my Agfa 535 and Surhuds Nikon FM10. This was shot with the FM10…which was a blast. We had a Nikon 35-70 and Vivitar 28-210(have to confirm with suri).

As i am going to mention Surhud(suri) several times in this update…visit his blog

So here we go

She was sleeping when i was metering her…and someone woke her up…and she tired to look nice and all. Then she asked if she will be in the newspaper or tv…i said no. Then she started asking money…haha

Suri took this one…

Suri once again…i guess this was max tele

Suri again

me…how do i know? its more aligned…OCD

Suri

Suri…these men were questioning us…i get quite pissed when people come and ask WHY AM I SHOOTING stuff…fuck off will you

Suri…all above were taken by suri as i had photographers block…this is why i like film…DETAILS

me…a cobbler

me failing completly

Suri nailing it

i saw these people fight…so i too a pic…

all the above are from Dadar…i had to buy stuff for my friends in Norway…suri knew this awesome place to eat…and the food was AWESOME…authentic mahrastrian food…i was already dozing…man good food….thats Pav Bhaji that is being prepared

me checking the crazy Vivitar 28-210 lens

suri doing what suri does best

damn suri took a lot of pics…this was at..hmm…andheri station

me finds this kid quite strange…so i took a pic

me found this nice clock at andheri station…click…it was a pain focusing with the 28-210

just to show you guys the crazyness outside the station. suri had taken off to buy the tickets…i was too lazy to stand in some freaking line. You can buy lots of cheap/fake stuff here. Stuff like perfumes/deo’s even underwear!!!

love the coconut trees out side my apartment

i have shot this frame a dozen time with my cameras…and i still love it. i remember sitting on our old showcase looking out the window for hours…good old days…carefree.

my mom…she is an awesome person…and also an awesome cook…hehe

we were at suris place…to drink and eat…and to copy movies…thats what i am upto…as you see…we LOVE sitting on the floor.

bet that is suri

suri and me were at lamington road to buy a sata to usb converted. We had both the FM10 and the 30D. So suri shot with the 30d and me with the Fm10…how things change. A year back suri would rant about how digi sux and film is the shit. Haha…what say surhud. Just to let you guys know…suri is now in UK with his FM10 and shooting Ilford Delta 400

love street

sorry suri…i did not shoot as you wanted

traffic signals are more fun when shot in colour

hmm…dunno
