Framed!

Photographyonthemove has an exhibition on at Toscano at the Forum Value Mall in Whitefield and one of my photographs from Hampi is on display there. I made the long trek down yesterday to see ~~my photograph~~ the exhibition and proceeded to annoy the lives out of my lunch companions.

You’d think atleast one of them – the husband – would be used to it by now (he is, to an extent – he handed out the lens and held the camera bag with a patient look – just that he had a sympathetic audience for once and overdid the ‘suffering indulgence’ theme).

(the man standing outside? that’s him…)

Anyway. Here then are some images from the exhibition – very glad to see a few old favourites there… and a few from my favourite photographers from those I know from the Hampi trip (Sanjit, Kay, that means you!).

(Hover on the pics to see photographer’s name or more details)

Toscano is a cheerful place, all sunlight and warmth – however, that meant that I had a terrible time taking photographs, white sunlight spilling in from everywhere and distracting reflections on the glass. I tried pretty much everything, just stopping at asking people to get up from their seats and lunch so I could see if I could get a better pic from that location.

A couple of frames from above and most of the ones below are from the Goa carnival and the Alleppy boat race. Goa, next Feb; Alleppy, this August!

And oh, the food is excellent, the service is friendly and the place is warm and inviting – so even if you live far far away, do head to Whitefield now.
