The sea gulls were trying to pick pieces of an ice cream cone floating in the water. This made for interesting reflections and flight patterns as the water was quite glassy.

Interesting lines and shadows by the Wellington Boat Sheds, June 2012

“This recognition, in real life, of a rhythm of surfaces, lines, and values is for me the essence of photography; composition should be a constant of preoccupation, being a simultaneous coalition – an organic coordination of visual elements”. – Henri Cartier-Bresson

2012 marks the 60th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on Refugees and 60 years of refugee resettlement in New Zealand. First marked in 2001, World Refugee Day is held every year on June 20. This year, the UNHCR theme is “1 refugee without hope is too many.” These kids represent hope and the future of many such families that call New Zealand home. The colour image is of a Kayan woman from Burma with neck rings.

Scenes from a street festival in Bengaluru, India. Dedicated to the village deity, these festivals draw large crowds in the locality with a lot of song and dance. There’re the drums of course to whip the crowd into a frenzy. India is one of my favourite places to take street photographs. There’s so much life on the streets. The colour, chaos, noise, and more importantly the people, are simply incredible. I can’t wait to go back there for a holiday again.

“It isn’t an easy job to paint oneself – at any rate if it is to be different from a photograph. And you see – this, in my opinion, is the advantage that impressionism possesses over all the other things; it is not banal, and one seeks after a deeper resemblance than the photograph.” - Vincent Van Gogh

In December 2011, I journeyed from Gwalior in the Indian State of Madhya Pradesh to New Delhi, the Capital of India. These images were taken on the highway connecting the two cities. The car I was travelling in was my window to this wonderful world of ‘organised chaos of people, animals, and vehicles’.

This portfolio won a Photography Distinction at the 2012 Canadian International Digital Photography Awards.
