Changements de la Lune

I do believe the stars are perfectly aligned right now. This past full moon was in full force, and I truly have never felt its power before like I did this past moon. In many ways I feel like the moon is far more powerful to me here in India, than when I was in Canada, even though I would still act like a lunatic around the time of the full moon. Anyhow, I took some photos of the moon, more than I ever have before, although I could never capture its alluring beauty, I felt like I should try anyway.

On another note, I would like to dedicate this post to Nilanjana, my oldest and boldest friend on this planet. She left me in India on Sunday morning to return to her life in the Julliard School of Performance Arts in New York to pursue her career in acting. As I may or may not have mentioned before she is an incredibly gifted individual with so much passion and charisma that seeps through her extraordinary pores. With everything she has accomplished thus far, it has been by the sheer force of her personality and will that she has got to where she is today, and for that alone I am her biggest admirer. On one of my last and blissful nights spent with her, I shot an entire roll of film , and never before have I come away with so many beautiful photos of one subject. I have chosen to be a bit frugal in my selection so as not to embarass her, but she has been my muse and I feel that it is reflected in these photos.

On a totally career oriented front, I have taken up a job offer at company called FUTURESOFT. This company, successful in its own right is branching out and in association with Kingfisher Airlines is opening a learning institute for its staff here in Calcutta. I will be piloting this project (no pun intended) with a small team of indiviuals and nurturing and raising this new baby, from the ground up. As expected, the winds of change have been whispering coaxing words of temptation to take my life in a different direction, in more ways than one. So being the eternal optimist and seeker of change that I am, I have plunged, head first into a sea of infinate possibilities. Were the astrologers right when they said 2007 was the year of profound change? I not only think so, but with the passing events of my everyday life, I grow to also inherently believe so.

Since I havent had much time to do any street photography, and also since this city has been having a mild de-inspiring effect on me, I have been slacking on the creative front. However, I've gone as far as being inspired to photograph the people that I surround myself with.

Wow do I ramble..here're them photos..

Nilanjana's just as fabulous cousin, Bambi, or as I like to call him, Bambino!

Ok. Like I said I dont have too many photos. I'll add to this post after I'm done the roll of film in my camera right now.
Check back in a few days and I promise to be more loyal to my blog.

Love and positive energy to all,
