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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
