Kiev: Photography

It all started on Saturday as we headed out from our hotel.

Arun turns to me and says, "Now remember, we're here to take pictures..."

I give him a look... "next to stuff," he adds.

For any of you who has perused our plethora of travel-albums; you may have noticed the abundance of pictures of Arun in them. There's usually very few of me.

Let me tell you why:

• Arun LOVES to pose.
• Arun, as highlighed above, thinks that a #1 priority in travel is to take pictures... next to stuff.
• Arun's a HUGE ham.
• And finally- Arun can't photograph.

Ok- Arun can't photograph WELL.

Let me demonstrate:

Blurry................Blurry.................Blurry/dark.................

So you see- usually by the third or fourth frame, I'm totally tired of waiting...and posing, and it's a chore to try to find ONE picture that's salvagable!

Now compare Arun's joy of posing:

(admittedly, much better lighting conditions)

Yeah, I know....

A final thing you should all know about is that Arun on this trip- it was FREEZING cold. YET, Arun would dutifully put down the umbrella, take off his coat and brave the temperature in the name of a good photograph.
