The First Snow of my life - Northeastern University

27th November 2002, a bright Wednesday as I recall it. This was the first time ever that I saw snow in my whole life. Being from a tropical country, snow was something which I had only seen on TV before. That day morning was a mild snow storm. The first one that Winter in Boston. In fact I was outside when the first flakes started floating down. In the evening I went to the university with my brother's digital camera which was some old Kodak EasyShare DX3700. I did not have a digital camera by then, only my good old Olympus iS200.

The pictures below were taken on that day at the university at about 5PM, just before my Biochemistry class :-)

Old Sturbridge Village

The Old Sturbridge Village is an artificial village set in the period of late 1700s and early 1800s. It is a complete setting with real people enacting the lives of people as they lived in those days (including shades of the crazy Victorian English :-) These are snaps I took of the place when I visited it in 2003. The photos were taken using my film based Olympus iS200 and digitized using an UMax Astra 4100 scanner. I wish I remembered more details of the individual buildings.








Purpose of this blog

I like taking photos. But I am not a professional and have not ever received any training. Most of the things I learnt about photography and cameras were from my own experience, some common sense, laws of physics and tips from junta.

I plan to use this blog as a venue to post some of the photos I have taken and share them with my friends (and everyone else). Of course some feedback will be very much helpful.

As of today my camera is a Minolta Dimage A200. Most of the digital pictures were taken using it. Prior to that I had an Olympus iS200 which was a film camera. Most of the scanned pictures come from it.

The digital photos were not processed in any way i.e. they were they were not modified by any software or other means. Even the scanned photos were just plain vanilla scanned and no processing was done on them. While I have nothing against processing photos, I think such photos represent your processing software skills better than your photographic skills.
