Based on your recent posts, you guys are making me feel I need to go find a Water Buffalo or other wild animal to photograph here in Los Angeles. Anyway, here’s two shots: one of my usual, mundane subjects; and one of my beautiful little girl, who just turned five.

I did some of that too! I have to say that working through my negs, I am not sure I did the landscape any justice….just got lost in the people.

“India, a nation of housewives!” Ahmit declared, as we made our way by taxi into the centre of Kolkata.

Might crop the second and get rid of the yellow line which I sometimes get.

One of my favourite pictures of the trip. This is a pronghorn antelope. You usually can’t within 50 yards of them but for some reason, this fella was fine with me being there… They’re the second fast land animals in the world (60mph), having evolved to outrun the now extinct N.American cheetah. They’re running prowess now vastly outstrips anything left on this continent. Anyway, wonderful animals and I felt lucky to see one up close like this.

From Speaker’s Corner last weekend. Main gallery here if anyone’s interested. Love going there – it’s interesting regardless of photography, but I like the fact you can really get into the thick of the action there.

These are a images shot a while ago in a 6×4.5 format with one of my favorite street shooting cameras, the Fujifilm GA45ZI Pro.

Made the obligatory journey over to Old Faithful – the most famous geyser in Yellowstone… It jettisoned about 10 minutes behind schedule, although I was amazed that any kind of predictability is possible with geothermal phenomenons… Here’s a couple of shots from the 1 – 2 min event.

Someone asked me on my blog recently who my photographic influences are (other than you guys of course :)… I had a think and came up with this list… i’m actually very poorly read when it comes to professional photographers (even the masters) but know enough to definitely claim I’ve been influenced / inspired on way or another… here’s the list i came up with… care to share yours?

* Ansel Adams – still unsurpassed, even to this day

* Robert Doisneau – my favourite of the master street photographers

* Robert Capa – helped me understand the subject and emotion were more important than the sharpness and focus. also best photographic quote “if your photo’s not good enough, you’re not close enough”

* Diane Arbus – again, underscored for me the importance of having a style, subject and that the classic perception of beauty is not always the most interesting thing

* Hiromix. Japanese photographer. Popularised everyday / diary style photography in Japan

* Gregory Crewdon, mentioned above

* Nick Brandt. Modern photographer who does fine art nature photography… his work still blows my mind

* Ellen Von Unwerth. Probably my favourite photographer

My favourite image from photo reportage series that I shot in Geylang, Singapore’s red light district, a couple of years ago.  I was going through some old files today and came across this.  It still resonated with me, after all this time, so I thought I’d share it with the community.
