I’m a freelance photographer living in Mumbai, India. A few years ago I quit the corporate world to ‘paint with light’ and I have to say my life has been brighter since then. I travel as much as my wallet (and wife) allow and I personally prefer to focus my lens on a gritty street rather than an exotic beach. The camera enables me to see with a clarity and sensitivity that makes me feel more human. I love people, but not in the social hangout kind of way. I just love observing people live.
Unfortunately street photography is not understood by a lot of people; if it were it would command a lot more respect. Street photography, while extremely personal and subjective, is probably the hardest to do. It is an unadulterated documentation of life … history if you will. And that is why I started this blog – to document my life in relation to the millions of lives around me. Hope you will follow me on my journey.
I would want to meet you to hear your story of leaving corporate for photography. SIgh man. When can i see you.
Love your work! Great ducumentary.
Regards Erik
Excellent story telling……………. hope to meet u some day.
i read on your blog about your shutter dial problem.
I just got a nice Rolleiflex and the shutter dial is stiff. I sent it off for a service to a Rolleiflex repair person here in the UK. He said that the front of the camera is not aligned and that it can easily be fixed and the stiff dial problem solved. Your pictures with the Rolleiflex are as good as any I have seen, wonderful really. Can you get your camera off for a service/cla to solve your problem?
I love your work.
