~ Butterflies ~

Was looking for something on my Instagram feed and then came across one butterfly photo. Then thought let me go down the memory lane and see how many of these colourful flies I have captured one my smartphone.

Was pleasantly surprised to see the number of clicks. Here you go! 

Spot the butterfly ;-)

First edit on the latest snapseed version. Very easy to edit. It even has layer kind of feature.  Used HDR effect here.  #Butterfly #garden #snapseed #hdr

~ Best of Instagram 2013 ~

Here is a short video of some of my Instagram photos from 2013. 

If you have a smartphone and don't use Instagram yet, you should give it a try! Do read about Craig Mod's blog on how Cameras are becoming a passé. "Goodbye, Cameras"

~ Supermoon ~

I couldn't capture the moon rise last evening. As I witnessed the hide n seek  between moon & clouds, following are some of the photos taken at 9 pm. 

Hope to catch today's moon rise. Wish Bangalore sky would be clear enough ;)

~ Indian Memories ~

Came across this unique project from Anusha Yadav called Indian Memory Project.

It is an online, curated, visual and oral-history based archive that traces a personal history of the Indian Subcontinent, its people, cultures, professions, cities, development, traditions, circumstances and their consequences. Applying images, letters and stories from family archives (sent and collected from contributors), it reconstructs a visual history that is emotionally rich, vivid, informative and even more surprising than we think.

I enjoyed reading the story of Sir Mohinder Dhillon. Some great untold stories of Indian History can be read on the project website.
