Architectural and Travel Photography

I just realized that my blog is missing some important work - my photography! I love taking pictures and I love the camera. I wish I had a fancier camera, but for now, my Nikon L110 works!

Here are some of the pictures I shot with that camera while traveling...

This one is The Alchemist, a sculpture by Plensa at MIT, Cambridge:

HDR photo of Chicago from top of the Willis Tower. This was taken in Fall 2011.

Of course, Disney World, Orlando. Just loved how the sky was so dramatic like in an animated movie.

Grand Canyon- one of my favorite photography destinations till date!

Oil Painting on Canvas

Recently, I ventured into abstract oil painting. It's fun because:
1. It looks classy.
2. If you don't like what you painted, you can paint all over it again.
3. You can create textures with it.
4. You don't have to finish in the same day, unlike water colors. Take as long as you want.

This is sort of my first contemporary oil painting. I have made 2 more so far, both in the same color palette with cadmium red, crimson and black. They're a part of this series with a tree and fall leaves and leafless trees.
