Chennai on the move.
Man! Every, and I mean every single fucking place in that video is familiar. Some are even places where my offices were (are?)
This meme is so last year.
Lavanya tagged me this one. I had to take it up, not least because I’ve not done tags in a long, long time.
(One cannot improve upon a master. So.) Right, the meme says, All you have to do is select and upload one photo that you have clicked this year that is special to you. Could be anything…aesthetic, technical or personal. Also, put in a short note why it is special.
So here goes. Not just one photo, but two.
This photo was taken inside IIM Bangalore, during Bar Camp Bangalore 5. Besides the composition, (which I think is rather cool) and the lighting (which I think is rather brilliant) and the patterns (which I rather like), this was the moment I decided I’d go pro-photog soon.
To go pro, one needs the equipment. And thus it is, we come to the second photo. This.
Pretty soon, I shall have two more pieces of awesomeness to add to this. And thus I shall begin my pro-photog innings. Till then, I realise, I am to help the meme be one. As in, spread it/tag it forward. So, here goes.

Lines of Grey – A photo exhibition in Chennai
A flickr contact and fellow PSBBian Suchitra Vijayan is behind an organisation called Lines Of Grey.
LoG wants to take photography to children of the streets, and thus give them education of a different kind, and hope. To quote them:
Lines of Grey is an organization that seeks to take photography to the doorsteps of marginalized children in communities around the world. Our vision is not limited to the children in the street of Mombasa or the slums of Dharawi. Our organization comprises of small and passionate group, whose life is intrinsically linked to photography. We share the common faith in the ability of photography to capture the imagination of children, to empower them, build confidence and give them a voice. We believe that education is not limited to the learning of the letters. We are committed to furthering the cause of marginalised children, by taking the road less travelled.
