3 Films I Watched In March 2022: 1. The Imitation Game (2014) : Alan Turing, a British mathematician, joins the cryptography team to decipher the German enigma code. With the help of his fellow mathematicians, he builds a machine to crack the codes. 2. And So It Goes (2014) :
[Read more]I have been reviewing and making notes on the photos I see on Instagram since January 2022. And to make my own process easier, I wrote a blog article: How To Review A Photograph. In that article, I have jotted down questions to ask when judging the technical aspect of
[Read more]Last night, I downloaded Rich Armstrong’s (TapTapKaBoom) “Your 100 Days Project Tracker”. and it has a very interesting format. Rich writes: You can track your 100 Day Project here and get things to consider and think about every few days and write short journal entries—thoughts, ideas, feelings, questions, answers. If
[Read more]I had forgotten something I had in my pocket all along, something that would have made the process of this project a lot more easier. It’s this one Photography app called FIMO which gives the simulation of various film rolls and an analogue camera. I have taken several photos earlier
[Read more]Even though it’s easier than ever today to operate a camera and produce a picture, it’s no easier to recognize the most compelling images among your outtakes and make collective sense of them. In fact, the extensive output digital technology enables can make it even more difficult: while the haystack of digital files can grow to immense proportions, the number of needles (i.e. meaningful pictures) necessary to evoke a theme or narrative remains quite small.

[Read more]I am low-key proud of this one particular photograph. Probably the best frame from this 100 Days Project so far. This did take a bit of conscious effort, and I had to finally take out my tripod for the first time during this project. I was feeling nauseated because of
[Read more]I think I am getting fed up with myself. The same old frames, the same old subject. I’m hitting a wall. I am worried about what others are thinking about my project. Are they thinking I am a lame photographer? I am highly critical of myself.
[Read more]I have finally come to say to myself, “My arms really do look good”. I have been told that the frames are quite common and I won’t deny that. But I didn’t start this project to make extra-ordinary frames. I started this project to make myself less critical towards my
[Read more]I’m fully rested today. I slept in till the afternoon just because I needed some sleep. Funnily enough, I have more energy now. My efficiency has gone up in the last one and a half hours that I’m awake and I could finally gather some energy to try something new
