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.

Wow ! Is the 2nd image HDR processed ?
The frothiness is in the sky is reminded me JMW Turner. His ability to bring out the procellous. His ability to get those painted skies is attributed to his dad being a barber—frothy shaving soap etc.
Sanjeev, no it is not an HDR image. It was shot in RAW and standard processing techniques were used to recover details & highlights.
Here in New Jersey there is an approaching winter storm, but it is nowhere as good-looking.
बहुत दिनों से एक नयी पोस्ट का इन्तज़ार था। लगा होली पर कुछ रंग बिरंगी दुनियाँ आप दिखाएंगे पर शायद होली मनाने में व्यस्त हैं। बहरहाल, होली की बहुत सी शुभकामनाएं।
