Schmap Chicago Guide shortlisted my photo

Okay, I am very excited about this one. Schmap magazine has shortlisted one of my photos on chicago for its 6th edition. Though this is not the best photograph i have ever taken, and i am not gaining anything financially, a pat on the back always feels good; especially when its a magazine.

They picked this picture from my Flickr stream

Here is the picture they picked and mail from their editor.

Goodbye 2008

 



The last morning of 2008 was bright and snowy at the same time. Took this snap as i stood at my apartment balcony witnessing this strange but beautiful irony; with the backdrop of memories from 2008. What a lovely end to yet another lovely year!

Goodbye 2008.

Hope tomorrow will bring even brighter sunshine for everyone.

Happy christmas

Jose uncle is the best microsoft paint artist i have ever known in person. This one is on him. His hand crafted xmas card. Happy christmas all!

Waking up to a cold snowy morning..

In Michigan, we had an unexpected blow of cold snow last week. Walking to my apartment the night before was one thing and getting out of it next morning is a different story! A question mark rather! For once, I was glad for not owning a house and a car.I don't need to worry about moving snow off my yard and car windows..




 

 

Germany, Misys and memories

It was after i posted my chicago pics on flickr, i realised that i never published my Germany/Dresden pictures. Germany was quick and fun. Dresden, the city i visited, was re-built after it was destroyed more or less completely in world war 2. A part of the city - called old city - was resurrected and built to match the looks of buildings that existed there before fighter planes took them. The mix of old and new city views next to each other gives a nice historic charm to this tourist town.
