The Taj Mahal

First off let me wish everyone "Happy New Year" and I hope you all had a great holiday period.

Now, to todays photograph! I have been asked a few times now, "What camera do you use?" Well for those of you that want to know, my main camera is a Canon 5D MkII. It's a great camera and does everything I need, it's one downfall though? It's heavy, big and bulky. Chase Jarvis, a professional photographer wrote a book called, "The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You" (and that is so true.) Some of my photographs posted on my website here were taken with a Nikon Point & Shoot camera and this shot was taken with a second generation iPhone. (It just happened to be the only camera I had with me.) Sure the quality is not great, BUT I got the photograph and with some computer work, got the photograph I wanted!

So to the tale of this photograph: Priya, one of my co-workers, was celebrating her birthday and invited a group of us to join her at an Indian restaurant for dinner. Kerri, the young lady in the photograph and another co-worker, happened to be sitting across the table from me with this bottle of Indian beer between us. And so this photograph was created. Hope you enjoy it.
