I was born and raised in Goa. My photographic interests lie in landscapes, portraiture in natural light, street life, culture, religion, and photojournalism. Places that I find particularly inspiring are Goa, Iceland, and California.
I have shot extensively in my homeland of Goa, recording its surviving heritage and its sui generis ethos. I have documented in detail the destruction of Goa's environment and its rapid slide into the ugliness and urban chaos that characterizes today's India.
I am also a musician, with a lifelong association with the musical traditions of India. I live in California and spend extended time in Goa.

The fill light has done wonders to this image. The silhouette of the bushes add up very well to this great shot !
have you tried straightening the cross ? or maybe the quaintness of it inclined is better / more real ?
I’m amazed that the pedestal cross isn’t in silhouette too. Good thinking to make this photograph happen!
