A Girl Of Many Talents

i thought i was quite satisfied being a writer for expression, but then the SAJA convention two weekends ago involved a really fun and rewarding thursday photojournalism outing to richmond hill, in queens. the whole affair got blogged about at the convention:

and i'm quoted in the post too.

it was my first time out beyond brooklyn (except en route to the airport, which doesn't count) -- and involved some really cool visual results. we won't, of course, talk about the not-so-cool pics that i tried to get all fancy with and failed. and just when i had tired of staring at the 2.5" lcd on my beautiful cybershot and reliving the bizarre smorgasbord from that hot thursday (an explanation of the gita, a hat and sunglasses, sari shops, a santo domingan american adopted by the caribbean indian community, long subway rides, free jalebi, and fruits and vegetables galore), the workshop got some post-convention attention:

and now i have my own dedicated gallery here: <http://sajablogs.typepad.com/photos/simran_thadani/index.html>

(the other 250-odd pics will be sifted through at some point soon and uploaded for everyone's viewing pleasure. i'll be signing autographs later, as well :D)
