May Wallpaper
Here is May’s wallpaper. Something a little different. I took this shoot while on this last trip to Kashmir. It is a raptor, a bird of prey called a Black Kite. They are all over the skies in Kashmir. I shot it with my ever-trusty 85mm 1.2. Now, I am not, as you can plainly [...]

The faces of this trip.

Flight Updater; a great little iPhone app for travelers.
I am packing for a trip to India on Wednesday. I will be visiting Delhi and Kashmir. While packing I started searching for an application for my iPhone that would allow me to track my flights and my expenses. I used to use a mediocre product called Flight Executive. But it seems it is no [...]
