Simple photo, but it was difficult to setup the background. (The background is actually a kitchen pan). I could have taken a better shot, but the egg slowly moved away from the initial place where it was broken and finally fell on the floor carpet :-( Then I had a tough time cleaning the carpet.
How creative you can be with a few marbles and a light sourcce is limited only by the limit of your imagination.
I got an old rose and was thinking for about a week on how to take a good photo with it. First I tried with a white background. Then tried a black background. Black seemed to be much better. The sprayed water provided a good effect. But the real trick in this photo is the lighting. The reflections on the water drops have provided a very nice effect. The water drops and background take the attention slightly away from the rose. Nevertheless, this is one of the best photos I have ever taken.
My first post in 2007. This is an apartment complex near my apartment. The sun was at a good position and provided a nice harsh light.
I would be happy if more people post comments on my photos.
There are 52 weeks in a year. But 31-Dec-2006 was a sunday. Since I usually take the photos on weekends, I have a post for 'Week 53'.

Singing the Blues
Fireworks, welcoming 2007 Though he saw me taking his photos he didn't run away, but posed for the photo.
I have been posting a lot of sunset pictures. I think i should reduce them.
I wanted to take a photo like this for a long time. There are multiple layers in this photo and each layer has a different brightness. The farther a layer is from the camera, the more faded it is. This photo was taken from the top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire.
A maple leaf on a wood.
This one was taken near Flume George, NH. The fall foliage was at its peak during this week and it was really colourful everywhere in New Hampshire.
There was an event called "Boston arts festival" (ähts) in Boston this weekend. Boston artists and craftspeople exhibited and sold original works of art including paintings, drawings, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, jewelry, fiber, glass, woodwork, mixed media, and photography. Performance areas showcased music theater, dance and family friendly activities that reflected Boston's rich diversity and extraordinary cultural life.
People who were interested in painting were given watercolors and paper to try some painting. I also took the watercolor and painted the scene infront of me. After a very long time, I did some water coloring.
I went to Niagara waterfalls this weekend. It was a tour package. We started from Boston on Saturday morning. Reached 1000 islands by 4 PM. 1000 islands is a group of small islands on the border of US and Canada. Since our Bus had a problem we had to wait at that place from 5 to 11 pm. Another bus came at 11 pm and took us to a hotel near Niagara waterfalls. We reached the hotel by 4 am and we slept till 11 am. At 11, we went to the Niagara water falls. We went for the 'Maid of the mist' and 'Cave of the winds' trips which took us closer to the waterfalls. The falls were illuminated at 8:30 PM. We returned from Niagara at 9:30 and reached Boston at 6 AM on Monday.
I took a lot of good photos this weekend, so I am posting more photos this week.
There has never been a day in my life where I have admired the sky so much. I woke up on saturday morning to see a bright and sunny day with a wonderful sky. The sky was very blue with lots of white clouds. So I took a lot of photos with the blue sky as the background, including some photos of mine ;-)
The Inidan community in Boston celebrated India's 59th Independence at Hatch Memorial Shell near the Charles River in Boston. A lot of Indians attended the function. 
My favourite photo of this week is the grunge flower.
This saturday I went for skydiving. Its was the most adventurous thing I have ever done in my life.
See a photo of my skydiving.
Italy became 2006 world cup champions by defeating France in the penalty shootout. The match was shown on the big screen at City Hall Plaza, Boston. There were more supporters for Italy than France there. The photo shows the crowd cheering after Italy scored the winning goal.
This photo was taken from George's island. There are a lot of islands around Boston and some of them are open to public on Summer.
Take from Windsor Gardens train station. I used to board train from this station to go to office for about 2 months. First photo was taken on April beginning, second one on May beginning and the last one on May end.
