America Uncensored

America Uncensored – America as you don’t see it in the photos The most boring thing for me is to watch hundreds of thousands of photographs of friends and family. Especially the ones in the US. Due the revolution in digital photography and digital cameras getting dirt cheap, everyone is going on mayhem, clicking mercilessly whatever they see. Some people don’t enjoy what they see with their eyes but they are more bothered about the photos that want to take. And especially the US photos can be classified mostly into the following categories

1. Downtown Photos – Some freakin downtown. Photos are clicked and clicked again ofdowntowns from Seattle to Manhattan from LA to Miami. Downtown Photos
2. Waterfront Photos
3. Niagara Falls
4. Statue of Liberty
5. Vegas + Grand Canyon + Hoover Dam etc.
6. National Parks
7. Desi Get togethers

Its so predictable and mundane and boring. And most of the photos capture essentially the good side of America. i.e the clean roads, the greenery etc.

I am starting a new endeavour called America Uncensored – where I plan to capture some American truth that you don’t see in the photos from your friends and family in the US.

Lets see how it goes.
