A Visit To Tahoe
It was a very longed for trip that I took with my parents to Lake Tahoe recently. I had been wanting to go and see Lake Tahoe in Nevada, USA for a very long time. The beauty and grandeur the place had earned had always beckoned me for a visit.
Unfortunately, however, I was without any “decent” camera that I could take along and shoot to my heart content. All I had was my Ricoh GX200 that I could use. The whole plan to go to Lake Tahoe was so sudden that I didn’t even get time to rent a camera. Life is so ironic I thought to myself, that all these years of waiting and wishing to visit the place and I being a photographer, didn’t have a camera to myself!
Well, so be it I thought, of course with a lot of anger and regret to say the least. I consoled myself by saying that this wasn’t going to be the ONLY visit I could or would make and there will be more visits.
So with whatever I had, I took these snaps and yes my Ricoh did make me happy as much as it could… I hope that you will enjoy the shots as much as I do !!

China Town
So I was in San Francisco the other day… particularly in China Town. Took some snaps, although didn’t have a Hasselblad or D3 or 1Ds Mk II, but I did have my Ricoh GX200… I’d say it served me well – wouldn’t you?!

Back Home in India
So this is my first post on my photoblog, and I wanted to share some of the pictures I took while on my last trip to India, which was after 4 yrs.
It was a very short one, considering the fact that we as a family travel and visit our relatives more than often. We went on the 2nd of July and came back on the 29th. There was an other “trip” that I had planed before going to India with my cousins. We planned on a road trip to Masoorie and Dehra Dun, thats north India. It was quite an adventure and we all had great fun. Especially me, since I got to take some amazing shots.
While there in India, I also shot my village from where I come from and places around it. It was definitely a very deja vu experience, visiting places and people that you love and have been longing to for 4 years.
Place near my village – Bilaspur, U.P
