Saying Thanks!

Two updates from me:

1. The good people over at Londonist have paid this little blog a huge compliment by interviewing me about it. I am totally floored. You can read the interview here. Please do read the last bit and let me know what you think of the prints for charity idea. [I'm particularly interested in contributing towards Child Welfare and Animal Protection Societies].

Previously seen here.

2. Londonist also recently ran a photography competition in collaboration with Slowdown London, called Slow Exposure. The submitted photographs needed to identify with the essential ethos of the Slowdown London project, as well as with the quirky, positive, eclectic image of Londonist.

I am thrilled to report that two of my photographs (one of them above) were selected in the top 30 that will be exhibited for a whole month (24th April to 24th May) at the Ray's Jazz Cafe at Foyles (Charing Cross, London). Do please drop by the exhibition if you're in London (entry is free). Londonist is also organising a Private view and Party (RSVP) on the 1st of May at the same venue, where the top 5 winners will be announced. I'll be there, and I'd love it if you drop by and say hello! (I'll be the deliriously happy one). See you there!

And a huge thank you to all of you who've so far commented on or about this blog- here or elsewhere; sent informed critiques and suggestions my way; taken the time to dwell over the pictures and the stories I try to tell and continued to encourage me. I might not be in action for a few days but promise to be back soon with a whole lot more.

Five Hundred! (And Updates)

I launched this blog on 19th January. Today, exactly two weeks later, my big blue hit counter down there tells me I've got 500 visitors! This does not include my own hits on this site, it does not include page views. These are 500 individual hits!

I'm thrilled and I'm humbled at the same time. I hope you continue to find the blog interesting, that you continue to like my photographs and most importantly, continue to give me feedback on and off-blog. I love feedback, I thrive on it and I'm truly grateful for all your suggestions and back-pats and constructive criticism so far.

Meanwhile, I have updated the other sections on the site, and they're all live now. Your feedback has given me the courage to share a bit more of me with you in the About section; the Links section is populated with some really cool stuff (yay!); and the Notes section will have more activity in the coming days.

I'm now all the more inspired to go out and click more of my cities and share it with you. While I do that, do have a look around the rest of the site, leave me a comment, rate the blog or email me with anything at all that you'd like to say.

All that I have to say at the moment is, Thank You! :)


PS: The picture above obviously has nothing to do with this post. It's just an unmistakable representation of London, the city I currently live in (and love). A new post with my regular flânerie will be up tomorrow.
