B&H Photo Video
From about 40 thousand years ago to 2008…we still share our thoughts and ART… except in a different way but very much related to India and Aperture 2…a real Time Machine in Photography.
Creativity and Art has been around for thousands of years and yesterday I received an interesting email from Santosh Verma in Mumbai.
Santosh is a real nice and cool Photographer from Mumbai…well Santosh is not just anyone, he is an excellent and very creative Photographer plus a super nice guy.
I had the chance chatting with him during the Aperture 2 Event in Mumbai and we stayed in touch since. Santosh does some real amazing work, check out his website at

With his email came this
super cool shot (see above) and I just fell in love
with it.
Now we are in 2008 and seeing images like this…very
colorful and creative…so I decided to bring you
Images which I took some 30 years
ago…no Aperture
and Photoshop then.
The images are related somehow, showing art in its
oldest and most recent form, the Australian
Aboriginals used to use earth color (Ochre) and paint
on Tree bark or retouch 40 thousand year old
paintings in caves…now it is Inkjet Printers that
translate our artwork on to paper, an amazing
contrast.

When I received the email
from Santosh I was working on some old Australian
Aboriginal images and that gave me the Idea to show
the ancient and new way of reproducing our thoughts
and Ideas…now that
is contrast!
For restoring old images with Aperture
2 (one of
my previous blogs) go to: GD Photo

Enjoy
the images and thanks to Santosh for letting me use
his Image… see below his recent letter to me…I guess
he is just about to move over to Aperture
2.

Dear Gunther,
Just a note to say that your feature-the feature on
you
-in the magazine looks great! I was so delighted with
the way
it has come out. Hearty Congratulations Gunther.
And yes, I am persuaded to download the Aperture now,
the one you gave me, after reading so much of your
blog and being
encouraged by how good it is.
I will first have to learn how to download stuff with
it and then, how to
make the ' photoshoop' work on the RAW.
Don't be disappointed if I ask you for help
in such elementary steps!
Oh yes! Nikon has loaned me a D3!!!! and I will be
using it for the next
one week on a Test Drive!!!
Look forward to hearing from you and working like you
Gunther.
Warm regards,
Santosh
