New York 2018

Short trip to NYC with the intention to do a lot of walking and shooting. Rain said "are you sure about that?", and humidity said, "No" so I never got in my groove. Was super rusty finding my shots and even rustier finding my focus with the manual 50mm.




Most days started with a layer of fog in the sky. Most of the time it stayed that way





Had to hit up a rooftop anyways




When it rains, hit up the galleries.




Didn't have time to hit up the Whitney so I settled for the high line walk




The Met

Barcelona 2017

Decided to take a break this year before the real crunch happened. Barcelona had the cheapest flights.

Wasn't in the right mindset to get back into the zone for taking pictures, but I did bring my camera to wine country in Priorat. The area reminded me of Tuscany quite a bit and made me excited about my promise to visit Italy again someday.



The "road" through one of the wineries




A typical town in the hills of wine country

Fatehpur Sikri

Now we get to the part where my free spirited eating catches up to me and as a result, my photography falls off rather sharply. Here's what I managed.

Tomb of Salim Chishti





The way out


Oh look! I manged to post everything just under a year from the day I traveled there.

*sigh*

More Taj Majal

Bunch more in B+W

This is the line for locals. It wrapped around the Taj Mahal. The line for foreigners was non existent. We just get ushered inside




To give a sense of scale

Taj Mahal

Yes it's overly photographed.

Yes it's very crowded

Yes it's kind of a pain to get to.

But man, does it impress.


Peek-a-boo





Everybody has taken this picture. I still had to

Oh look, Asian people

No matter where I went, I got the stares walking around India. I suppose there aren't a lot of Koreans visiting lately.


Pic for a pic




These kids chased me down from far away

Jama Masjid

Made it inside


Busy




Peaceful

Contrast

Calm






Chaos

Streets of New Delhi

Wander deep enough into the streets of New Delhi and you'll be transported into another world with a very unique kind of light.






Saw this guy chilling in the alleyway. Didn't take a lot of photos here, I was mostly to agitated to get into the zone. Pretty hectic and disorientating in those alleyways.

The Red fort in B+W

Who takes black and white photos at a monument made famous for its red color? Me. Because I can.

The Sound of One Hand Clapping

That is my audience for this blog. Here's some pics, long overdue.

"I think we should see other people"
                                                                        "Oh..."
"..."
                                                                         "..."



We were too cheap to pay to go inside. This is the view from the cheap seats.

India: Gurudwara Bangla Sahib

Just some walk around shots of this Sikh house of worship in New Delhi

Ride or die

Stone cold

I went to India

Posting these photos will probably take me a year, but here goes anyways.



After landing we were picked up by a taxi and we started the 6 hour drive after a prolonged tea break.




Swag buses

Hiking around Seattle, now in colour!

I liked the yellow/green hue of this moss covered tree





This lighting straight up made it look like a painting
