Maheshwari

July 2008, Hyderabad.

Maheshwari is about 3 years old. Both her parents passed away when she was only a month old. Along with her sister she is being raised by her paternal grandmother. She has started going to school this year.

(At the beginning of this week I shifted base from Cologne, Germany back home to Hyderabad, India. And shortly, I’ll start traveling through various parts of India. So starting from today you will see more of India here. This is the first time that I’ll be shooting extensively in India so I’m quite excited. I hope you will find my journey interesting.)

April 2008, Bad Godesberg.

Shot with my friend’s newly acquired Nikon D300 and a Nikkor 50/1.4. Have to say it is one amazing camera with a plethora of features although its immense complexity and resultant steep learning curve is a bit off putting at first. And at least from my experience of the Nikkor 50/1.4 I still prefer the bokeh of my Minolta lenses.
