I’ve been doing some housework on our blog, and I’ve noticed many of my India photos are missing from old posts. This is an opportunity to revisit these photos and edit them with modern Photoshop tools.
For example, I had published a whole photography project on the people of Seelattuparambu, a small Muslim quarter in Fort Cochin, Kerala. This is where our dear friend Nazaar lived, and because of him, I gained access to several locations, including the kitchens of the local canteens. Ultimately, I put together a gallery of 20 images for the blog post. Tragically, due to subsequent changes in our website’s plugins, that entire gallery is now not only lost but also irretrievable.
It’s OK, I have the original versions of these images. What’s more, it means I can revisit the photographs and apply a bit more knowledge to my editing, using better tools.
I’ve unpublished the offending blog posts and, over time, plan to re-insert the missing photographs and re-publish them. I don’t have a specific time frame for this project; it’s something I’ll work on in my spare time. However, please keep checking the Photography category of our website for updates.
Needless to say, I have thousands of photographs to go through. Until we moved back to the UK, this was something I never had time for. Now that we have better power systems on board, I can spend more time at the computer. While aboard Esper, I would be counting the minutes my desk-top was on, so it’s become a bit of a luxury to spend hours on my photography.
All the photos on this page were taken in Seelattuparambu using a Canon 5D II and the Sigma 10-20mm lens (a very wide-angle lens, as you can see), but I’ve posted them here as teasers. I’ll come back to this project because the location is fascinating. Also, it brings back a lot of memories, not least because Nazaar sadly passed away.
