The Street Photographer’s Photowalk Kit
Of all the genres of photography, the one that I enjoy the most is street photography. The freedom of being able to walk around (alone or in a group) the streets and capture what’s happening around me is a wonderful experience that not just feeds my passion for the art, but also calms my mind […]
Street Photography in Japan
Almost everyone enjoys taking photographs. In Japan, I would venture to say that EVERYONE enjoys taking photographs! Whether it be the camera embedded in modern smartphones or high end digital SLRs, cameras have become an integral part of our lives. And so has photography.

58th Koenji Awaodori – 2014/08/24
The 58th Koenji Awaodori was held near Koenji station in Tokyo on August 24th 2014.

Users of Google+ can share their content with the hashtag #cooljapan. The curators of the campaign periodically select contributions that they like and promote the same on the Google […]
My New Photography Site
Hello World! Back on this site after a long time. I have been running another site as my photoblog, but I decided to host all my photographs on SmugMug, which offers a framework that I like a whole lot better than WordPress (as far as photo galleries are concerned). So from now on, this site (itsani.com) will primarily be a […]
Eternally Hopeful
There are times when we give up. Times when we feel that life has no meaning any more. Times when we feel we are done with life. The first urge is to run away from it all at the earliest opportunity. Frustrations, unfulfilled dreams, the monotony of a life that is, at best, “average” and […]
