50mm lovin' // april '12

A week or two ago my new 50mm f/1.4 came in the mail :) Haven't taken too many shots with it, but I'm loving it thus far! Here's some bokeh love:

bits of sydney // march '12

Early last month I was in Sydney for a mere three days. Didn't get much photo time, but this is what I got.

emon + subarna // anniversary - march '12

Emon and Subarna. Second wedding anniversary. A weekend or two ago I was taken along to a day trip to Victor Harbour with them for the purposes of photo-taking. I spent the whole day wanting the treasured golden hour (which in Australia during summer is a good 3 hours). But as soon as the clock struck gold, the clouds rolled in. Still got some good shots.

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to be able to take photograph's at a Bengali concert featuring the Bangladeshi singer Kona (and Arnob). Here are some of Kona's photos:

film // the bridge trailer

At the end of last year and beginning of this year, I worked on a project called The Bridge. The idea was to create a trailer for a film competition. Unfortunately we didn't get through to the next round for the competition, but our outcome is definitely worth watch.

Watch, and enjoy:





I worked on the script for the trailer, did most of the cinematography, helped direct and edited. But it was completely a team effort with my friends Priom Mashuk and Andrew MacFarlane (the one on the right). We worked with equipment I never even dreamt of touching, such as a the Canon beast, 70-200mm. We filmed out of a helicopter, something I will never forget. Ever.
This is definitely the start of something new. I am hopeful.

film // two seconds singapore

I filmed a lot on my trip to Singapore. When I came back I banged my head on the wall for about 10 days. I didn't know what to make of all the footage. There was no story line I could think of that wasn't sappy. No music that perfectly defined the essence of Singapore. And then I thought of this: no story line, no music, just a conglomerate of the footage. Two seconds worth of clips. Smooshed together. Introducting, "Two Seconds Singapore".

singapore - little india // november '11

Just got back from a 10 day trip to Singapore. Out of those 10 days, 5 were spent lugging my camera around. This is some of the shots I came up with. I figured I'd take this little trip to expand on my street photography, but it's rather tricky to do with prime lenses. When taking portrait I have more control moving back and forth. Not with street photography, moments end in an instant.

This is part one of the few photographs I took in Singapore. All in Little India. It's amazing how Little India is literally like a miniature India, it doesn't feel like Singapore.
