Photography

Away from work I photograph landscapes and cities. A few frames from the Himalaya, rural Bengal and Europe; the albums below hold the full sets.

  • Snow-dusted Himalayan peaks wrapped in cloud beneath a deep blue sky streaked with cirrus.

  • Low sun above a small wooded island, its reflection a bright path across the still reservoir.

  • The iron lattice of the Eiffel Tower seen from directly below at night, lit gold against a black sky.

Albums

The complete sets the selection above was drawn from, as I first put them online in 2014: a road over the Himalaya, a reservoir in rural Bengal, an autumn in Europe, and a convocation day.

  • A wet black road curves between snow-covered slopes toward a cluster of huts, dark ridges and a cloud-filled valley beyond.
