Nine days to 9/11. The third anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon will soon be upon us. The Musarium has collated an array of photographic work on its site and is worth a visit. There are also links to resources for more information and a forum that may help answer some of your questions.

I am now publishing a weekly photoblog at Sepia Mutiny. It's quite likely that you will see the same images I post here over there. But don't let that stop you from checking out the fine writing you will find there by scrolling up or down.

Special thanks to Vinod and Manish for inviting me to be a part of Sepia Mutiny. It's a nice play on words and as a photographer I am naturally drawn to it.

Starting out in photojournalism? Mark Hancock, a staff photographer for the Dallas Morning News has a blog that is a good read.

Take this post about pushing and pulling film; I learned something new! And yes, I still shoot film.

Fashion photographer Nisha Kutty uses punchy colors, off-beat poses and funky lighting in her studio work. I like her bold, honest style on-location as well.

Something terribly incongrous and wonderful about placing a model in a rustic setting. But its really those kinds of images that at once draw and capture our attention. I wish, Kutty would show us more of her work from South Asia.
