My copy of Adobe Lightroom arrived. I ordered it on the last day of the rebate from Amazon.
I believe there are still some copies available at that price.
I’m loving it and living in the Develop module for most of the time. It is a real killer, designed with a photographer in mind.

Where does that leave Apple’s Aperture? The Library and Stacks feature of Aperture are stunning and I will probably use that for my book of photographs for Road, Movie

Rajika Puri and Dancers performed at the Joyce Soho in downtown Manhattan a while ago. Rajika studied Bharatanatyam with Sikkil Guru Ramaswamy Pillai, her Odissi Gurukul is Deba Prasad Das

It would be interesting to view your favourite or not so favourite films from this perspective.

My friend the filmmaker & Professor who holds the Zakir Hussain Chair at Jamia Milia University, Shohini Ghosh (Tales of the Night Fairies) took me to Shop 34.
She’d been meaning to do this for a while. It’s in Delhi’s underground shopping complex. You descend into a world of bustling with activity and head straight for the first shop on the right. I followed Shohini.
