Bangalore Heritage photography

Karthik’s Weekend Escapades

August-2010

Event Date:
August 8th 2010

Intent:

The primary idea of the event is to capture on camera some of the few remaining structures of the yesteryear. In the recent past, Modernization and population explosion in some way has taken away the old charm of the city that it used to be in the 90’s. The way the city ever keeps changing colors, I found it interesting to capture a few of its marvels on photograph. This I believe will add up to my collection and am sure I shall look back at it for the years to come.

I found it suitable to cover the entire event journey on cycle as this will give me multiple advantages. I would be able to cover all the places with ample time and details as I would be slow, since the event is being planned early morning on Sunday the experience of cycling empty roads will be totally welcome. The joy of pedaling is an experience that is always enriching and delightful. Smaller causes like diet, health don’t really play a part. Cycling is just about cycling without strings attached

It would be very important for me to be at my first destination as early as it gets. The more the people, vehicle more harm for the photographs. Looking forward to capture the places keeping people at bay
