you have captured the difference in stark contrast. In Black and White.

poignant shots both.

Thank you!

The school picture is overexposed, or something? I've to squint. :)

I would say high contrast due to several reasons: sunlight, Nova B&W slow film, and of course my love for high contrast. The last one, I guess, is the culprit.

Dreams jarred...
By the alarm clock, and the rooster.
Getting ready for another day
Of study, work and play.
Hope for the future,
Or a good meal.
Toiling hard, blackboard blues...
Working for a living, tight rope blues...
We may be different,
But we're one and the same.
Innocence fades...
Reality set in...
Eyes droop, as the sun fades,
Only to rise again,
And life repeats, like action replay.
Another childhood gone,
Another child consumed,
Some make it, and some don't.

That is nice! This karmakurma, your new avatar?

[karmakurma]

Yup. Rebooted my LJ account. BTW, am in Bangalore on the 22nd. Would like to meet up and buy your print.

[zeeshanmn]

Woohoo, that is great news :-). Will have it ready.

Thank you miss!

Mysore series from your previous post? Hindu somehow screws the pics up always while resizing. These are poignant.

Actually no! I found these pictures from my 2004 archive. I shot both of them in Bangalore (at a time when I was focusing on shooting an alternate Bangalore). Thanks for liking these.

The Mysore images had been hastily shot for the Hindu. Although the pictures look good in the print version, they don't look good online.
