KODAK MOMENT of the Day

This photo is special because the Pier in the background is no longer part of the landscape since Hurricane Sandy. This photo was taken In Ocean City, NJ last Novemeber. It relates to the theme of Travel/Vacation because so many come to this very location for family photos while on vacation.

This picture was taken on a gloomy Sunday afternoon after a heavy spell of rain. The first chills of fall were in the air and they were contemplating whether or not to drive their bikes through the pool of water. The picture is special to me because it portrays their vulnerability: the bruises on my little girl's legs from a previous fall is still visible and the determination in my son's stance is undermined by the slightly awkward position of his feet. Moments after the picture was taken he ended up in the middle of the pool with a nasty bruise to his knee.

Taken in Oct. on Evergreen Lake in Parma OH. where I live.

This is a photo of old couple of Kalash Pakistan taken in their annual festival called Chilam Joshi. People in Kalash are very simple.

This picture reflecting culmination of the dream achieved after months and days of hard work of the farmer with tremendous uncertainty in mind is a common scene in the agro based society of Assam. The agricultural season starts with the onset of Monsoon with hope in mind and finally materializes into reality with this final walk with the golden seeds of rice from the paddy field to home where dreams awaits. This photograph is taken in Bongaigaon district of Assam in the month fo november,2014

I took this picture while drinking thee in a nice little cafe. The family in front of me was so calm and charming it helped me calm down from a bad day too. The way the mother talked to her kids and the way she hold them it showed that she was not afraid to let me take a place in the world.

I was fortunate enough to fulfill my mum's lifelong dream & take her on a Gondola in Venice. A holiday I will always treasure. Taken on 9th March 2013 The gondola is perhaps one of the best known symbols of Venice. When you think of travelling the canals in Venice, your mind pictures the graceful and beautiful Gondola.

My great grandfather who suffers from Alzheimer's, I wanted the main focal point to be his eyes as they are what tell the story, the lost look in his eyes.

This is one of those moments when you say to yourself, where is my camera? Find it and snap. I thought this man with his dog was too funny of a picture to pass up. I was in Florida on vacation, visiting my mother. She was driving and I was a passenger in her car.

Once a year be two people in the "not real" connected during the traditional country wedding.

I took this picture on the Southern slopes of Mount Ainos. It was taken on 14th Sept 2014. It was not posed or set up, the horse posed for me and gave me one of the biggest thrills of my life. My wife and I were deeply moved by the beauty of the animal.

Went to a park with my sister and had fun doing a photo shoot!

View from Neuschwanstein Castle's balcony in Germany. I was lucky enough to be in this spot at the end of the tour. Nothing like a great sunset over the Alps!

Walking down a path in Crater Lake National Park during the day I looked up and wondered how it might look at night with a sky full of stars. Luckily I made it back that night and I was able to get this image.

Taken last summer during my holiday to Crete, Greece. Walking through the back streets of a small village, I stumbled across the homeless puppy. The emotions in the eyes say it all...

This photo was taken while cruising on a riverboat in France. While looking out our window as the boat was underway, we noticed our breakfast reflection . The picture seemed complete with the trees in the background. But the colors were quite dim overall, so I decided to play with the colors to achieve a more whimsical illusion of the food and water. By the way, the egg was scrumptious.

A spectacular sunrise against a brilliant blue sky with moored boats in one of the numerous ghats at Varanasi makes one stop and savor the breathtaking moment. I stopped too to capture this tranquil sunrise for eternity.

A solo kayak run down the Waugh's River, Tatamagouche, N.S. 1st week of Octoberrr 2015. The sun is setting fast . . . caught this pic turning the bend in the river , where the tidal water begins into Tata. Bay. Great Escape :)

On March 30, 2015, I was at home when suddenly my wife came to tell me about an unexpected visitor in our garden. To my surprise it was a beautiful specimen of the Green Iguana (Iguana iguana). It stayed still while I took some nice up close portraits. Iguana iguana is native to Central and South America, and was introduced into Puerto Rico in the 1970s as a result of pet trade. This reptile has spread throughout Puerto Rico, where its negative effects may threaten local biodiversity.

Golden leaves everywhere.

This picture was taken at a Bengali (Indian) wedding during a ceremony called "panigrahan", which literally means receiving of a woman's hand in marriage. The concept and the importance attached to it shows the respect and position of honour women in indian society enjoy, and that itself made it a memory worth clicking.

Pumpkins local grown for the fall holidays. Each one is so unique in character and color. Great fun for the Halloween season.

It felt like entering a wonderland of colours.

How much for Downtown....and we are thirteen in the family and promise won't mess up your cab! Shot this wild monkey in the Margalla Hills situated adjacent to Islamabad, Pakistan.

With the shadow, light, people and pigeons I thought this an interesting image.

I took this while out walking with my partner. We had a great day and I was just palying about with a new filter. I took this as a last shot looking the other way from the main waterfall. This was the best picture of the day.

Hiking to Geirangerfjord at Norway

This photo was taken in one of the mountainous areas in the north of Iraq. It is a ?time laps? to record all phases of the day in a single image. Photography began 4:00 p.m and continued till 3:00 a.m of the next day. During this period almost 1500 image were captured.. Here is the final one

I took this picture of coal harbor in Vancouver while travelling. I'd been in Canada for a month and the weather had been awful. desperate to get a great photo I took my camera everywhere. The day was grey but I kept my hopes up and waited for the sun to begin to set. Amazingly, all of a sudden the sky changed as the clouds broke, creating a beautiful picture

It was misty and quiet in this forest. And a little bit eery.

Most awaited person without whom a morning can?t be good. They (usually kids) deliver the newspaper ignoring cold or rain. Really thankful to them, without them a day can?t be started. I have taken this photo in Hyderabad in March 2013. This picture is about the people who make our daily lives comfortable.

On a clear frigid May morning around 4am, I hiked around Cadillac Mountain looking for a great spot to setup my camera equipment. The temperature was in the 20's with very strong winds which made it difficult at first to capture a picture in focus, but once the sun rose above the horizon the rays gave off a stunning glow which made getting up very early and dealing with the freezing cold worth it to capture this inspirational shot.

Taken on Four Mile Run in Arlington, Va. I liked the reflection of the bare branches in the stream filled with colorful fallen leaves. It says winter is coming soon.
