Ashokan's photostream  

I am a very fortunate guy. I believe I have a gift to understand the city in a unique way. The city has a language that they speak and if you give the city a chance, I know you can understand them too.

You will see, just go to any corner of a city, and let the city talk to you. Soon enough, you will hear the city. Underneath you, you will hear the faint sound of water running through the sewers. As you walk, you hear vents from buildings, and the wind blowing. You will hear people talking and laughing, and music. You will hear cars pass by, and cries of siren in the far distance. If you only allow it, you an hear the city come to live.

I try to represent what I see through my photography. This flickr account showcases some of the photos I have taken. A method I use when taking photo is to try catching the photos during the blue hours, so I can get the best night photos.

On a site note, in life, I try my best to enjoy as much as I can what is given to me. I am really lucky because I have been given two extraordinary blessings. The first is the city and my capacity to enjoy it, and the second is mobility. I have a good set of legs and I can walk and I do walk as far as I can, all around the city, to all the corners trying to explore.
