Day Labor - my first photo submission to JPG Magazine

Finally go the nerve to submit one of my photos to JPG Mag, great site (http://jpgmag.com/), I highly recommend it. I figured since I'm taking photos I might as well share with the community and see how folks respond. Here's a link to it... http://www.jpgmag.com/photos/273023 Oh, please vote for this photo, who knows it might get chosen for the next issue--I can dream can't I :)

This photograph was shot at the Amber Fort in the beautiful city of Jaipur, in northern India. Most of the construction work at the fort is done by the local people, both men and women of all ages. What caught my eye was the bright and colorful clothes the women would wear in the most dusty of environments... a striking contrast.

The Plunge

I finally got motivated and started up a blog. Still not completely sure what the focus will be but I figured chances are that it would be based around my love of photography. Having said that I've got to let folks know that my journey into the world of light and color is a recent endeavour and one with an unknown destination. The further I travel the more I learn about myself and the world around me. I find myself gravitating to street portrait photography... capturing that special moment in time of people in their element is challenging yet gratifying... visit my site and let me know your thoughts.
