Some mods to Purushotam's memorial page... I wrote a copy of the site in a configuration friendlier to older (very old) browsers because I looked at my logs and saw someone was looking at the site in Netscape Navigator 4. NN 4 was the reason people started importing their style sheets rather than linking them to the page; that way the styles would be stripped right out for NN 4, leaving only content. If you surf to Purushotam's page and you shut off styles in your browser you'll see the admonition, "If you can read this line of text please click here to see the site: http://purushotam.jephnol.com/subindex_2.html." I hid it in the page for NN 4 users (they'll see it). The new page just works better in NN 4 (and in handheld devices).

Sorry, I'll stop now. More photos soon....

I shot half a roll on this subject, playing with perspective, after studying the light with my spot meter.

The photograph in the center was shot handheld at a focal length equivalent of 270mm, 1000 ISO, f2.8 and at 1/25 shutter speed! Vibration reduction was enabled, but the results are still surprising. It stands up to full size printing and seen at full size the value of the shot is evident... C—'s expression was priceless; the professor hooding her was having a bit of a problem snagging graduate's caps and gagging them with the hoods and she was a bit nervous.

I've already reserved a roll as unofficial photographer for her slated graduation from H— University (2013), as this was such a wonderful event. (Of course, I'll be addressing her as Dr. C—).

Some photos from a party in Vermont last week... I made new friends from both the U.S. and Nepal. There where so many wonderful people!

There were folks at the party from the Nepali government, the U.N. World Food Programme, various human rights programs, lawyers, translators, educators and also a wonderful chef, R-- who previously had volunteered to create a wonderful Nepalese feast for my family and myself. It was one of those rare events where people were interesting, warm and kind.

I'll post more photos soon!
