Recognition Babyyy
I’m quite a fan of Deviant Art, but I’m not too happy with the new version. It has a ridiculous amount of bugs, and it looks less professional in my opinion. I miss some of the old features, and I find this version harder to navigate around. That could be attributed to the fact I’m just not used to the new version yet. It’s put me off the site somewhat though.
Having said that, I got a DD! Or a ‘Staff Pick’ as it’s called now.
I don’t consider it my strongest piece, but I’m certainly not complaining. It came as quite a pleasant surprise – no matter what people say about the value of Staff Picks, it’s still a nice feeling to be recognised!
In other news, I’m going to India next month – yay. I can’t wait. Below are some shots I took when I went there in December.
Smiling, happy school kids – not something I’ve often seen.
Monkeys are a lot of fun – I might post some more later where I’m feeding them, if I can find the CD they’re on.
The above shot is quite poignant to me personally. It was taken outside Mahim Station which one of the stations in Mumbai blown up by terrorists. The woman is actually walking towards it in this picture.
Flying over Mumbai as the sun’s setting..
Touristy shot of me, outside the Taj Mahal obviously. I was taken aback by the scale of this building, although it was a tad disappointing from the inside. If I compare it to the Vatican in Rome, I found the latter much more impressive. I suppose the history behind the Taj Mahal is very significant though.
When I’m at home (I’m at my aunt’s place in Windsor for the weekend) I’ll add some more pics from my last trip.
Going off on a tangent here, but I couldn’t get my desired wordpress theme to work :(
I thought that looked ace, except comments don’t seem to work at all, which is somewhat annoying. So for now this theme will have to do!
Ciao for now : )
