The Langar of Gurudwara Bangla Sahib
Every gurdwara has a Langar, or kitchen, that prepares food which is given freely to anyone, no matter the gender, colour, race, religion, creed, caste, age, or social status, and in doing so, establishing equality. The food is prepared by gursikhs and an army of volunteers. The volunteers do everything from chopping, preparing and cooking. Anyone can volunteer, any one can be a part of this system, anyone can be a part of the community.

What you need to upgrade!
I am frequently asked to advice people on what and when to upgrade camera gear. There is no short answer, but generally I consider several reasons to upgrade. So if you find yourself fitting into any of these categories, my recommendations are there also. 99% of the time I would suggest people to upgrade lenses BEFORE cameras...
My travel kit
The point of having a interchangeable lens camera is the ability to adapt it to the exact situation you. Your camera can be a portrait beast, a wildlife monster or a street chameleon, just by changing the lenses. Previously I have talked about my wildlife kit, but here I am going to go through my choice for travel!
The cameras behind the images
The World Press Photo winners were announced last week, and they are some amazing images there. I strongly suggest you to go and check them out! :) Let me know if there is one you particularly love or hate in the comments!
But this post is not about the image themselves, but the camera used to capture them. Quesabesde.com used the EXIF data from the images to create the following graphic of cameras used by the winning shots!
A pleasant surprise!
A (talented) photography friend, Abhiroop Ghosh Dastidar, contacted me last week via facebook sending me a link to Wild Planet Photo Magazine saying "Buddy this is yours right"? He we referring to the image of the leopard, which is indeed mine.
