Photography
I am a passionate amateur photographer, drawn to light, place, atmosphere, and the ordinary world under sustained attention.
Kannur/Wayanad
55 photographsSea cliffs and open beaches at Kannur, the deep green silences of Wayanad, and the ancient carvings sheltered inside Edakkal's split rock — three landscapes, each with its own kind of age and stillness.

Hampi
66 photographsBoulders, ruins, and sun-struck earth gather here into a landscape that feels both ancient and elemental, as though ruin and terrain had long ago agreed to become one.

Georgia
130 photographsMountains, medieval architecture, and weathered streets lie under a restrained winter light, spacious and austere, yet quietly warmed by stone, snow, and distance.

Mussorie
38 photographsMist, hillside roads, and pine-dark slopes give Mussorie its shifting, half-withheld presence, where the mountain light seems always to be arriving or receding.

Landscapes
42 photographsAn ongoing monochrome study of the fields, water, trees, and monsoon light around my home in south-central Kerala, where familiar ground keeps yielding new weather and new silence.

Signs
45 photographsA continuing attention to the stray declarations of the street: painted boards, fading notices, improvised lettering, and the accidental wit with which a place addresses itself.

Here
16 photographsA sustained regard for the small labors, errands, pauses, and improvised rhythms of every-day life around me, in south-central Kerala and wherever else I happen to be.
Open gallery →This is an evolving archive — new galleries will find their way here over time.
A loose notebook of photographs and short notes from walks, errands, and small local journeys — the world as it goes by.
A Wayanad morning
Six frames from an early walk through a quiet village — mist still low on the hills, the day not yet decided.
Kannur: beaches and the fort
Ten photographs from morning and evening walks on the beach, and a short visit to St Angelo Fort.
A morning ride
Fifteen photographs from two mornings on the bike, 14 and 15 May.
Marsh light
Seven monochrome frames from the edge of water and thicket.
A morning walk
Nine snapshots from a slow walk close to home.
New entries will appear here as the walks accumulate.
A small contact sheet of square frames in the polaroid manner — leaves, signs, shutters, and the off-hand vernacular of the road, kept in their borders as found.
