After all, I didn't want to get my hair messy or get my shoes dirty. While I have always been an outdoorsy person, the thought of getting inside sand dunes during high winds was like giving a cat a bath. Therefore, imagine my shock when I realized that I will have to brave high winds inside the dunes of death valley. My first reaction was , "wait, that will ruin my camera ("and my hair", but could not say that loudly)." I have to say that stepping inside those intense conditions made me see things in a new light. For almost a month, every moving component of my gear made a "crunchy" noise because of sand particles in it. I still cannot understand how sand managed to get inside the deepest zippered pockets. Nonetheless, the camera worked fine, and now I have a new respect for my Nikon's capacity to handle these stormy conditions. Also, besides my fellow photographers, not having a single soul in the entire desert made me realize how much fun it is to shoot during these conditions when everyone has left. There are some things in life that you can only learn in a storm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aac535945776e4f59c08d6c/1522272204031-MH0VM8LUHNFJ6B8OXGZY/Memoirs+of+a+Dream.jpg Portfolio - Memoirs of a Dream Here is a dreamy fall scene from Yukon. Those beautiful beams were not planned when I was composing the shot. They appeared from nowhere. There must be a reason why they are called God Beams. They are so transformative. Now, that I look back, I cannot imagine this same scene without these rays. A dreamy place that I will be dreaming for a long time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aac535945776e4f59c08d6c/1522364128694-T0IWZHFGLJKOQ0KVIOCB/Shadows+of+the+Past.jpg Portfolio - Shadows of the Past Years ago, while I was working as a neuropsychology intern in the Behavioral Neurology unit in a hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School, I had the good fortune of working with some of the best researchers in the field. One of the researches dealt with the study of artistic appreciation in patients with dementia. The study was conducted by providing dementia patientswith various cards depicting paintings from various artists. Thereafter, the patients would be asked to place those cards in order of their preference. This process was repeated with those same patients using same cards over several weeks. The findings of the research demonstrated that the artistic appreciation in patients with dementia does not change over time. Years later, as I embarked on my own journey as an artist, these findings reminded me how integral art is to our lives, and how deep it runs in our psyche so as to remain resistant to memory problems. Below is an image that was captured on a cloudy day in Dolomites. I have seen some really beautiful photographs from this place with crazy weather conditions. However, on this day, the light was not at its best. I still took a few shots of this place as the scene looked very powerful in itself. I kept looking at this image for months, but didn’t do anything with it as the light was not ideal. Over this weekend, I opened the image and it hit me that I was drawn to this scene not because of light or colors, but because of shapes, textures and lines. Besides, how could I have missed that cloud that mimicked the shape of the mountain peak in front of it. That cloud provided a kind of harmony and echoed the scene. So, here is an image that had some of the most commanding components, and yet it took me some 7 months to realize that this one didn’t need any colors. This is only March, but I think this might be one of my favorite images from this year, and the one that I would still remember as being my favorite years later when I will have difficulty remembering my own name.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aac535945776e4f59c08d6c/1522270741275-B89BSN994E9W78IPQ8KV/Temple.jpg Portfolio - The Temple This is one of my favorite moments from our trip to Patagonia. We were on our way to dinner after a boat trip. When we turned around to look back at the boat to make sure everyone was off the boat, we notice this scene unfolding in the distance. This was one of those beautiful moments that I cannot think of anything but a gift from some higher power. The ethereal light of the setting sun was falling on fog and clouds that were dancing around the peaks. The entire place had an aura that was very powerful and spiritual at the same time. If God has a home, this is how I imagine it looks like. https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/new-blog daily 0.75 2018-08-15 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/blog daily 0.75 2019-02-13 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/blog/2019/2/13/winters-fire-firefall-2019 monthly 0.5 2019-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aac535945776e4f59c08d6c/1550101245537-SX8VSAZ7GX2S917BPQY3/Firefall2019_website.jpg Blog - "Winter's Fire": Firefall 2019 Firefall 2019: Shot the day after major snow storms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aac535945776e4f59c08d6c/1550101330566-QWOIKRSYMEENOBTG1HQF/image-asset.jpeg Blog - "Winter's Fire": Firefall 2019 Firefall 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aac535945776e4f59c08d6c/1550101433614-GD5BUYBDAAWKZJL7FNXO/image-asset.jpeg Blog - "Winter's Fire": Firefall 2019 Firefall 2019: You can see in this close-up shot that the flow of water was very little compared to 2016 and 2017 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/blog/2018/8/22/my-podcast-interview monthly 0.5 2018-08-23 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/blog/2018/8/14/parts-unknown monthly 0.5 2018-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aac535945776e4f59c08d6c/1534305298678-HH93ULPR8YQCQK3CW3Y1/PartsUnknown.jpg Blog - “Parts Unknown” https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/blog/tag/Firefall monthly 0.5 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/blog/tag/Yosemite monthly 0.5 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/blog/tag/Firefall2019 monthly 0.5 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/publications daily 0.75 2021-01-13 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/about daily 0.75 2018-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aac535945776e4f59c08d6c/1522274081139-XLT9EENVNWKOXRISI2J9/IMG_8943.jpg Sangeeta Dey is a landscape photographer https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2018-03-29 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/forests-trees daily 0.75 2018-03-29 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/prints-license daily 0.75 2018-03-30 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2018-03-29 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/workshops daily 0.75 2018-03-30 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/awards daily 0.75 2018-03-29 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/contact daily 0.75 2018-03-29 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/new-page daily 0.75 2018-03-29 https://www.sangeetadeyphotography.com/read-me-forte daily 0.75 2025-05-12
