There is just something so magical about superheros. He got this really cool cape as a birthday present from his friend Arjun. Such a perfect gift for my little superhero. He know names of more superheros than I do. He loves being the good guy fighting the bad guys. I am not sure where it […]
I had seen this article on the Real Simple website a while back and have been meaning to share it. I can relate to it so much. Growing up, my father hired professionals to take pictures of us and they have served to be wonderful memories of those moments in our life. Additionally, he was […]
The title is borrowed from one of my favorite books called The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon. The book is a rich visual exploration of the young photojournalist’s work before he was killed by an angry mob in Somalia. I bought this book when I chanced upon it at a Borders […]
Indeed. The journey is the destination.
These are beautiful photographs Alpana. Seeing these and seeing my own film images makes me think more and more of going back to film or at least shooting one roll with film during a session.
I love the instant-gratification of digital but there is nothing quite like the tonality, the depth, the magic of film… along with the workhorse that is photoshop.. it would be a marriage made in heaven. But even if we consider that we can get film like images (or better!) with digital.. the waiting, the slowing down and waiting for the moment, the anticipation of seeing what happened..that is something quite intangible.
Anyway.. I ramble.. you have inspired me to go and scan some film images. Thanks!

Thanks Rashmi. I should also load up my film camera and play with it- what you say is so true!
You are wonderful!!!! LOVE your images…… =)

And so proud of it! My little guy turned five a few days back and hasn’t stopped talking about it. He will tell anyone who will listen (or not) about turning five. Let’s see…he got an extra toy at the dentist’s office when he told the hygenist it was his birthday. Before you think I […]
He is one of the most beautiful children I’ve ever seen.

It turned out to be a nice relaxing day for Rowan and me. We needed one of those! My Toyota Rav4 needed to get serviced for a recall under the Emissions Recall Program ssc601. With a few hours to kill, we hung out at in Alameda at the bookstore. Rowan loves the Mr. Men and […]
There are lives I can imagine without children but none of them have the same laughter & noise. –the storypeople So true. I can’t imagine my life without my silly, wonderful little boy. He is so filled with joy and silly little things make him laugh. I meant to post this earlier and share my […]
is a short movie about consumption, sustainability and environmental issues. You can check it out here. There is a lot in there that you already know but seeing it in black and white was so profound for me. It’s funny how having kids makes you want to do even more to make the world a […]
