Off to bombay in a few hours, 3 days of crazy maddening shoot. Looking forward to it.
However i am stuck with an edit. Its taking fucking forever to edit 256 pictures. Arghhh. I thought the light was good when i shot it, but the WB is out on all the shots. Crazy WB edit is underway, and i am in no mood to do this edit, but the client needs it before i fly out.
Fighting time and patience....

A Rather narcissistic self Portrait- I do like my Latino Mustache

Did a Food shot after a while yesterday, some pics from the prep.

Equipment used- Canon EOS 5D MkII , Canon EOS7D, Canon 100 mm macro 2.8, Canon 24-70 L Series 2.8. Elinchrome 400 XRI Lighting Kit

Another super song from the Coke Series, discovered on my way back from a shoot this evening. Bloody Brilliant..

Its sometimes good to be missing in action, been a busy last week- 2 shoots, both of them brilliant. And a weekend getaway to Neemrana Fort.
A week well spent.
On a more sombre note, one of my big shoots scheduled for December in Pune has been canned. Bloody hell i was depending on that quite a bit.
Anyways off to Bombay in less than 10 days for another smaller shoot.

Spent a mini fortune on orthopedic pillows this afternoon, i am SICK of this neck of mine!!!

Woke up to the really sad news of Peter Roebuck's passing. A great sports writer. I loved his true and hard hitting approach to the subjects.
Am quite upset.

Its strange, with all my health issues plaguing my very existence over the last 3 years, i can't help but start thinking of death. Slightly unnerving, but living on pills and in pain constantly makes me think more about the end.

And finally i did manage to sleep, albeit at 7 am, ( Ridiculous). Have a lazy shoot at home this afternoon, easy peasy ( i hope)
So here i am sitting in my study, work on my concept note for my project. I finally gave it a name, and got some important notes.
Now to look for a publisher, Lana is going to help me with the same.
I plan to start shooting in December and hope to conclude it by March.

Addictions are a bitch, so i had to pop a pill to get some sleep considering its been two days since i slept.  And yes i do like a coke addict these days, with the 2 week stubble.
Think i am going to sport a beard this winter, and maybe cut my hair really short.

Anyways watched Rockstar this evening, pretty decent and the music wasn't all that bad, at least some of the tracks.
Also the scenes shot in Stephen's brought back a lot of memories...

I don't know whats worse, being in pain and being addicted to Pregablin, which at least made me sleep. Or being in less pain and not being on Pregablin which thereby results in me being a complete insomniac.

O lord it's been a hard edit, but i am almost done, just another 90 pictures to go through, decently happy with the final result.
Anyways shooting in Old Delhi this entire week, beginning this afternoon, fun fun fun

Btw this is the most colourful train I have ever been on

Long day , decently bad shoot, the light was horrible, I am quite upset with what I got, looks like a long edit ahead. Anyways on a train back to Delhi.

So am on a train, rather strange a feeling. It's been a long long time. Brings back all those memories from law school.

Nerve relaxants and pain killing injections have made a life wee bit better. Anyways i am off to Allahbad tomorrow night for a shoot.
Will be taking an overnight train, don't remember the last time i took an overnight train, maybe 2005, thats quite a while, not sure i am looking forward to it.
But then again its a shoot i need to get done.
On a happier note, my pictures are being exhibited at Delhi Haat from the 14th of November till the 18th. Smallish thing but its good i guess.
Always have loved Delhi Haat, have some great memories from there, momo's,  fruit beer and great company... sighhh!!!

And as things stand i managed to break my 2 month old iPhone!! Arghhh... Am phone less till tomorrow afternoon. That could be bliss!!
