PHOTOGRAPHY
I love taking photographs.
A few years ago, Vinnie Mirchandani invited me to write a guest post on photography and technology, for his blog New Florence. This snippet explains a bit of why I enjoy photography so much:
For me, photography is a highly intimate form of expression. I love photography precisely because it's such a magnificent method to engage with one's surroundings and communicate feelings, moods, concepts, metaphors, and sensations non-verbally through images.
For me, photography is all about people, whether taking snapshots in remote Tibet or explaining why I’m trespassing on railroad property to the menacing engineer of a passing freight train. My silliest photography story occurred online when creative news website, Fark, picked up my boring photo of a cat staring at a garden gnome. Very skilled Fark members created a stack of cool variants based on my humble photo. It’s absolutely hilarious, so check it out.
Sometimes, people want to use them on blogs, brochures, and so on. Every now and then I get requests to sell prints, which I don't produce due to lack of time. One of these days, I will.
My photos are meant to be joyful and I hope they convey that sentiment.
You can see my photographs on Flickr, Twitpic , and Moby Picture. Some are also shown below.
