Benares (Varanasi) was not a disappointment. It justified its reputation as a curiosity. It is on high ground, and overhangs a grand curve in the Ganges. It is a vast mass of building, compactly crusting a hill, and is cloven in all directions by an intricate confusion of cracks which stand for streets. Tall, slim minarets and beflagged temple-spires rise out of it and give it a picturesqueness, viewed from the river.

I'm finally doing work in the field, albeit slowly and with waning patience; Manjhanpur, in contrast to Varanasi, is split 40/60 between Muslims and Hindus. It's fascinating to be in a place where both exist seamlessly. Internet is horrendously slow, so I'm only able to offer one image; enjoy.

For the last few weeks, I’ve been working on my submission for the Fstoppers 2011 Behind the Scenes Photo Contest; the idea is to put together a video showcasing the behind the scenes of a photoshoot. For my entry, I decided to focus on all the planning that goes into making a composite photograph of a person running across an old metal bridge found in Forest Park....

Going through some of my old photos, I realized that I never posted any from my visit in Doel, Belgium with my cousin Wouter. Doel, is located very close to the behemoth port of Antwerp. This port apparently isn’t big enough as the Belgian Government told all the residents of Doel to evacuate the city to make room for the enlargement of the port. However, the...

I went on a three day shoot as an assistant with John Fedele, and came back from the trip inspired to get out there and continue photography as well as equipped with some new insight into the art form. Waking up on Saturday before the sun came out, I hung out in Forest Park taking in the peace and calm of it all. I spent most of the day with my camera, this is what my...

A few weeks back, I was asked to shoot the grand opening of the Vakkár salon in Clayton. While there, I had discussed further work with the owner (David) and the possibility of shooting his salon in a more controlled environment (i.e. lighting). David’s idea, behind his salon, is to help teach the clients basic techniques on hairdressing and since his...

One thing I miss about living in Europe is the possibility of getting to know the city you live in by foot. There really is no better way to explore cities like Paris or Stuttgart if you are driving a car; besides, the public transportation within these cities are an adventure in their own right. St Louis doesn’t offer that same pedestrian luxury, not in the...

I remember first walking into these areas of the Washington University Medical campus, and being amazed at the size of the open area; then, when accompanying my brother into his building, I was impressed with the minimalist interior architecture I found when going up to his floor. All of this only motivated me to try and capture a bit of what I saw. The photos are...

Several weeks ago I finally decided that I had spent enough time settling myself into my new apartment and not enough behind the viewfinder of my camera. Living in the Central West End offers me the opportunity, at any time of the day, to simply go out for a stroll and enjoy the shady streets of the area as well as the interesting and often historic architecture of the...
