Jovi can see the future. She said that Iron Man 7 was excellent, and that Justin Beiber’s second term as president was relatively uneventful.

Jodhpur, the Blue City. The walls in the oldest part of the city near the fort are often painted blue. The paint then begins to age, flake and peel creating these beautiful textured surfaces.
Although I had no plans to buy souvenirs for myself while in India, I did want to get images of the various items that are available for the tourists.
RIP Ray Harryhausen. An amazing visionary. Thanks for making me believe that skeleton soldiers were real.
Sometimes things don’t go quite as expected. I’m standing on the bank of the Yamuna River with the Taj Mahal right in front of me. My favorite shots from the afternoon, however, are the goat herders that were wandering along the dusty riverbank. The last rays of sun created a glow on everything they touched. Magic.
One of the great things about the new 90mm lens for the 645D is that it can focus very close to the subject. Although not a 1:1 macro, it does allow you to get some great detail shots with what has become my standard walk-around lens.
Going through some images from shoots earlier in the year. Love the eye contact in these. A huge thanks to Corporal Bermudez of the United States Marine Corps.
