Chennai through a Camera's Lens

For the last few weeks I've been trying to get the most out of my camera. After seeing someone's gallery on Flickr I've decided to rediscover black and white photography and spent a couple hours yesterday shooting portraits.

This is is a picture of my wife, Padma Govindan. I think she is the cat's meow.

Padma's mother, Indira Govindan is visiting from the USA for a few more weeks.

The gate to my apartment.

Mallika, my wife's cousin who is in town from Delhi. I took this photo while she was snarfing down potato chips in a local mall. She looks cute when her mouth isn't masticating huge lumps of processed root vegetable.
