I am blogging from Chicago today/tomorrow. I had a chance to go on a photo walk this morning in Michigan Ave. It has been quite some time now since my last photo walk in St. Charles, MO. Photo walks are fun – I feel like I’m a tourist during photo walks 😉 I took this […]
Today is theme Thursday and the theme is Flight. As my wife and kids are leaving to India this weekend on an early summer vacation, doing a photo post with Flight theme turned out quite easy. Basically I started collecting materials for the past 3 days – my daughter had a world map she had […]
We have this old sewing machine that’s about 7+ years old. We were cleaning up the closet and the sewing machine mechanism caught my eyes. The moment I saw it, I knew I want to do a macro shot of the needle plate, foot and transporter of our sewing machine. Used natural window lighting to […]
Houston we have a problem – that’s what came to my mind when I saw my little kiddo watching his favorite TV program Cailou on You Tube. He was sitting so close to the monitor and watching with his eyes wide open like he was waiting for an event to happen… Today is tasra365 Twitter […]

That’s a picture of my little boy having his hair cut this noon. Somehow we didn’t like his hair cut from last time. His hairstyle started looking more like a “bowl cut” – if you want to picture this, think of Moe’s hairstyle in the 3 Stooges 😉 So I was on a mission to […]
Time for another macro challenge. Identify these and post your comments. I will post the answer tomorrow evening.
Yet another rainy day in St. Louis and a perfect reason for me to take a picture of Karl Rosenfield Peony indoors where I can have much control over the lighting and setup. Here is how I shot this. Every house has at least one spot where there is ambient lighting – in our house […]
Another busy Wednesday evening. Had to take my daughter to her math class and go visit a friend this evening. By the time I got home it was almost 9:00 PM and didn’t have much inspiration for today’s post. The friend whom we visited this evening had gifted “Little People” Noah’s Ark to our little […]
