ReplyDeleteHi Ashok,
ReplyDeleteToday I visited all your blogs..Wanted to comment on many
pieces..art- architecture..and also poems. On the whole marvellous. I loved the lady with bindhi painting you had posted. I used to use windows paint - I started using adobe recently..
I loved the lady in red and other poems too..
What are you doing in afghanistan..now?
priyums
*vanathi...tanx
ReplyDelete*Ajit...welcome here. I do Architecture.
*jeevan...u think so?
*Rita...good to see u
*Megha...actually its pretty tough taking snaps in afghanistan.People see u with suspision if u take snaps of buildings. Also its a conservative muslim country.cant flash as u like. So with practise,I have now become an expert in snapping quickly and discreetly from my car.
*IBH..tanx. will tell u soon.
*Priyums....Thanks for visiting ashokism.Glad u liked my works.U do well too. I wish i had ur time and patience to do such art works.
Nice photos... hav just dropped you a mail.
ReplyDeleteTHE FIRST PIC IS AWESOME! love the colors!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice snaps. First time I saw something of Kabul.
ReplyDeleteAshok, I have been seeing all the snaps in your blog although didnt post any comments, and enaku oru question which I had been wanting to ask..the way you have taken some of the snaps leave a distinct impression of conveying something to the viewer, have you been involved in any of the photography competitions?
ReplyDeletei liked the last snap a lot ....
ReplyDeleteashok:-- mee too follow-up with usha comment.. When I first saw the photos of child labours I fell some thing bad and not interested in commenting on that...
ReplyDeleteBut all you photos depiciting some story..
Good work...
*Chakra..thanx.so kind of u.
ReplyDelete*Tp...tanx...
*Hiren...welcome to ashokism...keep watching for more.
*Usha...I just snap by instinct. NO, never competed in foto comps. I have not reached that level yet.
*Deepa...any reason?
*Neighbor...tanx..i even received a couple of mails from friends not to post 'tragic' fotos.But these are not tragic when compared to what i see everyday - for eg. children and women with amputated limbs- lost coz of mine explosion. i dont even have the heart to take fotos of them.
