Alas! I have been reunited with a working SLR again, so Ill celebrate this opportunity to share worthy photography by posting 5 pictures from the very photogenic India.
a woman selling threaded flowers for women to wear in their hair
the intricate carvings of Hindu gods on the Maharajah's temple in Mysore
a brave pedestrian maneuvering the zooming lights around a busy traffic circle
a market vendor selling apples, lots of apples

This abandoned airport sits in the middle of Central Berlin, and since shutting down, has become an open public space where people fly kites and walk their dogs across the huge, empty landingstrips. It’s exhilarating both because it feels super illegal, and because you still think a boeing 737 is going to sneak up behind you at any moment
my cheap little handheld camera does take good long exposure shots, like this one in Antigua, Guatemala
this Cristo statue sits on top of El Picacho hill, and you can see it from almost anywhere in the city below, as well as the humungous Coca-Cola written accross the hill in true Hollywood style
Pulhapanzak waterfall near Lake Yojoa in Honduras
I love visiting churches in latin america, and there's certainly no shortage of them, but rarely does the interior provide such great photographs
the most serene crater lake near Granada, Nicaragua, thanks to @GuyEast who’s been traveling around with me and has a much nicer camera
some beautiful waves near Tamarindo, Costa Rica, enticed us for a surf
The Iver Expert barely squeezes through the Miraflores Locks; it was the largest 'No Smoking' font I've ever seen used, ironic because of the big blume of black smoke billowing behind
I’ve been brainstorming ways of improving my blog and making it more active since ts hard to post every day and posting just a couple times per week still doesnt seem enough to really share whats going on. But, as much as I like writing, reading all that blah blah is tough and people just like the pictures… so, I’ve decided to incorporate a Photo of the Day type post, just sharing a picture with a short caption. This is great because sometimes I dont have enough to say for a whole blog, or there’s just too much to say and a photo is worth a thousand words, so Ill let the picture tell the story.

Well, this is ironic timing because I destroyed my camera snorkelling on Sunday. Anyone who knows about my bad camera luck this year remembers earlier in June when I destroyed by brand new, Olympus SLR in the Chobe floods, but I learned my lesson and bought an indestructible, water-proof, dust-proof, freeze-proof, drop-proof fujifilm digital handheld camera for this trip. Little did I know that Fuji products apparently suck, since 1 minute of snorkelling managed to fill my entire camera with water. Silly me though waterproof included the ocean? And of course, the warranty isn’t any good in Panama since I bought it in Canada… so back to film I go, and I’m not sure when I post another photo highlight, but as soon as I do, it means I’ve gotten yet another new digital camera, the third this year, *sigh.*
