Changed the entire look and feel of the site to be javascript based. So now, there is one central location from where the site feel can be changed. Also, jumped on the CSS bandwagon.
- July 1-4, 2006
Trip to San Simeon, Morro Bay, and a ride back via El Camino Real, while stopping at some of the missions along the way.
- March 11-12, 2006
Heard the weather report about heaps and mounds of snow in Yosemite Valley, booked a quick hotel room, and drove to see winter paradise.
- February 11-13, 2006
A long overdue trip to Lake Tahoe, Virginia City and nearby areas. It was sunny, freezing cold with heaps on snow on the mountains.
- December 2005
Trip to India. This time I lugged my SLR and took some decent images of Calcutta.
- October 16-19, 2005
Rachna had to present a paper at a conference in San Diego, so Anika and I werefree to roam about the town. Couldn't see much because of the conference schedules, but managed to sneak in all the highlights.
- September 3-5, 2005
As a last minute decision, we decided to go to Kings Canyon, even though this was probably the worst time to visit the Park. As a bonus, we decided to drive through some of the backroads of the Central California Valley.
- July 2-5, 2005
First foray into the magical land of the Eastern Sierras. We had seen parts of this area near Death Valley and Lone Pine, but this time we perched ourselves at Mammoth Lakes and drove into Bodie, Ancient Bristlecone Pine forest and the nearby lakes and rivers.
- June 7-11, 2005
SuperComm at Chicago. We were perched right at the Navy Pier, a few blocks from
everything. Had a blast. First trip with the kid - not too bad. The weather
reminded me of Calcutta, though.
- March, 2005
I have been recently discovering my immediate neighborhood of South San Jose and Morgan
Hill. The Santa Teresa Hills, Almaden Valley and the numerous reservoirs provide
spectacular photography opportunities, and are only 15 minutes away. What have I been
doing for the past 5 years?
- December 30, 2004
Anika, our first, was born at 4:40pm.
Suddenly, I am having to re-learn portrait photography, and shelve my landscape skills
for a while.
- October 16-17, 2004
A repeat Yosemite Fall colors trip, but given my current lucky streak, there
were heavy rains and Tioga Pass was closed, because someone sneezed. A very
disappointing Valley tour.
- August 19-24, 2004
A long awaited trip to the Canadian Rockies - Banff and Jasper National Parks. As with almost ALL of my long distance trips, heavy rain was forecast for all 5 days of the trip, with the sun peeking out for a couple of hours on the 21st.
- May 29-31, 2004
Repeat trip to the Redwood National and State parks. This time, we ventured further
north, towards Jedediah Smith and drove all the way to Gold's Beach in Oregon. Since
I wanted foggy weather to Velvia-fy the lush green redwood forests, I got blazing
sun in the forecast.
- April 28-May15, 2004
Trip to India (Calcutta and Bhopal). Lugged my (now aging) Olympus digital camera and pointed it at some facets of Indian life. In hindsight, I wish I had lugged the Canon EOS 7e instead.
- March 12-14, 2004
Death Valley for the second time after a 3 year hiatus. This time the experiences were completely different.

IPv6 Summit in Washington DC, and therefore a small detour to New York, Providence and Boston.
- September 2-13, 2003
A trip through the chocolate and cheese fantasyland of Germany, Switzerland
and Austria. It was bright and sunny for the first third of the trip,
and gloomy and rainy for the rest of the trip. Nevertheless, a lot of
fun.
- May 24-26, 2003
Revisiting the Lava Beds, Shasta, Lassen, Klamath corner of Northern
California. Lava Beds were very impressive, as usual, but very difficult
to capture on film. Lassen was closed most of the way due to heavy
snow (17 inches) in April. The Shasta region was lush green when cloudy,
but sadly, I couldn't take any photographs due to time constraints.
- March 29-31, 2003

we took the trip during the week that 3 waves of intense Pacific storms wreaked
havoc all across the West, including dumping feet of snow to the western Utah
parks. Photos from this trip can be found here.
