America Uncensored

America Uncensored – America as you don’t see it in the photos

The most boring thing for me is to watch hundreds of thousands of photographs of friends and family. Especially the ones in the US. Due the revolution in digital photography and digital cameras getting dirt cheap, everyone is going on mayhem, clicking mercilessly whatever they see. Some people don’t enjoy what they see with their eyes but they are more bothered about the photos that they want to take.

And especially the US photos can be classified mostly into the following categories

  1. Downtown Photos – Some freakin downtown. Photos are clicked and clicked again of downtowns from Seattle to Manhattan from LA to Miami. Downtown Photos
  2. Waterfront Photos
  3. Niagara Falls
  4. Statue of Liberty
  5. Vegas + Grand Canyon + Hoover Dam etc.
  6. National Parks
  7. Desi Get togethers

Its so predictable and mundane and boring. And most of the photos capture essentially the good side of America. i.e the clean roads, the greenery etc.

I am starting a new endeavour called America Uncensored – where I plan to capture some American truth that you don’t see in the photos from your friends and family in the US.

Lets see how it goes.

The Seattle Times

The Seattle Times

The Chinese President Hu Jintao showed up today at our campus and there were many protestors who gathered around the Executive Briefing Center where he was meeting Bill Gates. My Manager and I happened to show up there and ended up getting interviewed by Seattle Times.

The Unforgettables - Part 2




Tony Montana - Now this is one character I love watching each time. I must have seen the Scarface "countless" number of times. Each time Tony Montana gives me a kick. "Say hello to my little friend"
