I feel compelled to share what I have discovered: a set of photos so exhilarating, full of life, and colors so timeless and vibrant that I simply cannot keep them to myself. These photos are the work of Vikas Malhotra from New Delhi, India. His complete portfolio may be viewed here, and this particular set from “Pushkar”, are available here. More information (on a separate site) is available here. He has kindly granted me permission to display a few ofRead more

javajive Blog's Four Year Anniversary
Well, it’s been quite a ride. Four years ago, I first started laying down my thoughts, photos, and ramblings with digital ink on this blog. October 2002 was a completely different time for me.
