From the Birdpark, in the roll-films
This is an image shot from the Jurong Bird-park  in Singapore in 2009 that I did in my Nikon FM10 in roll-films.The interesting thing is that the nature surrounding is one that is perfectly man-made !

Water apples in the noon..,

These water apples were shot in roll-films in my manual SLR in a December, years back, in a noontime..! One shot was in the bright sunlight, fully exposed and the other was under a little bit of shade.That day and time in that December are found  frozen in those film-rolls through these images of the manual SLR cam.of Nikon, in a manner that can not be forgotten,...;.I think so..!

Women Workers in the Temple Square !

These women do work in carpentry in the main temple premises of Bangkok in Thailand. They do have expertise in wood-work, especially in the cute , decorative wood paneling works of the temple structures that require more accuracy and skill. It is evident from their faces that they find joy in this work rather than it proves to be a means of earnings !

A Job that provides more than that of merely earnings of livelihood

(I have shot them in my NikonFM10 Manual SLR in roll-film)

Late nights on the Stage when the stars glitter in the dense dark sky above the Festival Grounds!

The late night arrived in the foregrounds of the temple courtyards of Kerala in South India, in one of the past festival days in a February, with the staging of the epic story that has been retold in the tribal tradition of the eastern mountains. There came the king of Kauravas ( a dynasty of the Vedic India) on the stage of the traditional dance drama performance of Kathakali ( the classical Indian theater of Kerala).
It was the entry of the king on the stage which had been put into the style of coming on a chariot.This entry highlights the royal hood of the character with the accompaniment of rigorous percussion and haloing decorations on each side of the character.This typical entry of this type characters just before the narration of a story is called ,'Thiranottam' which means ' a look above the front curtain raised against the audience'.
I shot the moments of this 'look above.' of the royal character in my Nikon FM10 Manual SLR around ten years back in roll films..!

The entry of a royal character onto the stage 
The narration begins after the 'entry' of the main character depicting the royal hood
   The late night sky of that February just above the temple courtyard was full of stars that glittered as if in a dream of the past that descended upon the earth in the form of colorfulness and choreographic harmony of a performance of classicism..!
