Break Free

Thumbi
'The Thumbi' - a kid dragon fly on its first day out in the big bad world.

After a long time, I took a micro break from my hectic schedule and strolled around my house.

Surprisingly the micro break turned into yet another 'macro' break.

The photographer's best friend...

Tripod

I take this photograph as an opportunity to confer accolades on someone who stands tall on his three legs holding my camera on his head with pride, adding a world-class dignity to my photographs.

I take the bow, dear tripod.

War of the Words


A completely white themed macro

HERO Vs. Villain ;)

Towers of Tamilnadu

This is a collection of a few towers I had shot with my 1mp intel camera, on a single day trip to temples around Kumbakonam in 2002.

Though these towers don't attract as many tourists (though they attract millions of 'Astrology' fanatic pilgrims), they are atleast as interesting to visit if not more than the world famous Eiffel, Pisa or the Petronas.

The Frog that was never green!

This is a sample post from my new flickr account created exclusively for my best photographs. Linked here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/canonbalaji

Though I try very much I find it very difficult to keep from marketing myself.

Hope I don't end up like this pazhamozhi ;)

update: After this post, I've decided one thing for sure; never to post directly from flickr
