On July 15, 2011 I moved my 4 y.o. photography blog to a new publishing platform (WordPress), starting new era of Memographer.com. Today, one year later, I would like to share with you Our First Birthday Cake. Firstly, thanks to all of you who visited Memographer.com this year. I really appreciate your input to my [...]
Last summer I worked on a volunteering assignment for non-profit organization Sambhali Trust in Jodhpur, India. Click here to read my post about Sambhali Trust. Today I am glad to inform you that my Sambhali Trust book has been published! Please use a Book Show below to flip through the pages of a digital version [...]
Sumaiya is a beautiful and very intelligent girl who wants to become an astronaut (!). We have met at the National Rail Museum in Delhi. She has stopped by and helped me understand how the steam engine works… Yes! In 5 minutes we became best friends. Furthermore, she has said she likes to model :) [...]
Three days in Delhi were fun! The weather? – 100°F (+38°C), 100% humidity… ewww! However, almost all items in my “to-go list” were crossed out. I have memographed :) Rajpath, Imposing India Gate, Parliament House, Chandni Chowk and Main Markets, Mahatma Gandhi Memorial and National Gandhi Museum, National Zoological Park, National Rail Museum, and other [...]
Taj Mahal – one of the Seven Wonders of the World – check! :) According to a hotel’s manager, it was raining in Agra for the last five days (monsoon season). The first dry morning was the only morning I stayed in Agra. So I thanked God for the opportunity to photograph Sunrise at Taj [...]
It took about eight hours to relocate to my next destination – Jaipur, located in the semi-desert lands of Rajasthan (east of Jodhpur). A road trip across rural India was fun, a monsoon rain… not so much! My first impression of the city – it consists of two totally different parts: new and old cities. [...]
Pushkar is one of the oldest cities of India. It is one of the five sacred pilgrimage sites for devout Hindus. The city is often called “Tirth Raj” – the king of pilgrimage sites – and has in recent years become a popular destination for foreign tourists. It lies on the shore of Pushkar Lake. [...]
In Jodhpur I had the opportunity to provide my services (volunteering work) to a non-profit organization Sambhali Trust. The people I have met there and things they do for others have changed my life forever. Govind and Mukta, the founders of Sambhali Trust, Renu, Corinne, Marta, Shahrzad, Marina, and other volunteers, thank you for your [...]
Jodhpur. I have felt in love with Jodhpur, its blue cityscape, its people, its food… its everything! The memories from this part of my Indian trip are popping up with clear sunny sky, colorful women’s outfits, smiling faces of people I have met, and holly cows resting in the middle of traffic :) Jodhpur was [...]
Good news – I have started working on my next photo book – Incredible !ndia. Those who followed me during the last three years will recognize this page ;) I always start or end Nona Hora books with a “bring-backs” page – a photo of stuff from my camera bags. View other posts from my [...]
The beginning. I have started my Indian Nona Hora project in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. I stayed two days / one night in Thar Desert with a wonderful Rajasthani family. I cannot thank enough Gemar and Mewa for the memories I captured during my stay in their hut. The rides in Gemar’s 1957 Jeep in desert sands, [...]
