New Travels

So I just got back from India. And by just…I mean exactly 3 weeks ago.

Now where oh where are those amazing photos that I keep harping about? You know, those ones that show off how beautifully amazing my family is, show off my birthplace, and are just all around awe-inspiring and breath-taking?

…yeah about that…

I took like 7000 of them. And I was only there for like 3 weeks. So like 3-400 a day. A day. Yeah I’m kinda kicking myself for that. Not because they’re not amazing and captured moments that I will treasure forever. But because I got so snap happy that it’s kinda ridiculous to go through them all now after the fact because sometimes there’s 6 photos of the same thing, just varying degrees of the depth of field aka what’s in focus the most.

So to make a long-ish story short. Here are some photos. There are many MANY more to come, but I have got to get back to this whole actually posting regularly thing…more soon ๐Ÿ™‚

PS. A bit of a self-promotion thing…If you’re a WordPress user you should check out WordCamp, an event held across tons of cities around the world that allow WordPress community to come together to learn and meet and grow (and eat good food with great company). They’re popping up everywhere from Portland to Copenhagen to Austin to Chicago to London to wherever WP users are and want to hold one next! And if you happen to be in Asheville/Seattle, come check out WordCamp [insert respective city here] to see yours truly give a talk about images and colors and how to make your site look pretty ๐Ÿ™‚

Feeling Dance-y

It’s a muggy, rainy day here in Atlanta and it’s been a while since I’ve been home to see my parents. So I thought I’d share some colorful fun pics of my mom and ba (grandma) enjoying Navratri a few years ago. They’re pretty cool chics!

Navratri is a nine day celebration in the Hindu religion that includes lots of dancing and celebration held during September/Octoberย in accordance to the lunar calendar. This particular year my grandparents had finally visited American for the first time so it was especially exciting. Excuse the sweat-soaked nature, there was a lot of dancing involved with hundreds of people at the temple ๐Ÿ™‚
