Photography

The majority of my photographs are 35 mm shot with a Nikon FM3A with 28 mm f/2.8, 45 mm f/2.8P, 50 mm f/1.4, or 85 mm f/1.8 Nikkor lenses. I also shoot digital with a Lumix FX01 28-105 mm f/2.8-5.6, which my wife has stolen. And there’s the Holga.

My photographs of interest may be found on my Flickr, where I contribute regularly. I started the Flickr groups for Darjeeling and Nepal’s Terai, which are two of my favorite places to photograph.

  • New Delhi domestic airport

    Tourist: Orange couch in JPEG Magazine An odd photography (above left) I took of an orange couch in the New Delhi domestic airport was published in JPG Magazine as a full-page opener in the Tourist issue (Issue 8). I intend to continue to contribute again to JPG Magazine, so watch my profile. Do not expect any more furniture.

    Waiting for a connecting flight in New Delhi, a bit numb after hours of flying, this orange couch seemed like a beacon of rest.

  • Elephant in Lain Chhor

    An elephant covering one chaos theory A photograph I took of a friend riding an elephant down a thoroughfare in Kathmandu (this was not normal but entirely contrived and ridiculous) was published as the cover to My Chaos Theory, a collection of short stories by Steve Watkins.

    I was contacted randomly by an editor at Southern Methodist Unniversity, the publisher, for permission to use my photo, which she had found on my Peace Corps blog.

  • Binita, my wife

    Binita, the wife I love this photograph I took of Binita on our wedding day: her red saari across the blue smoke from our funeral pyre. This is how I remember our wedding day.

    If you’re interested in my photography, please visit my Flickr. Some random choice picks might include Birganj film painting, Taj Mahal tourists, or Laurel sees Goa.
