From my archive – portraits of actor, Sir Ben Kingsley, taken in Santa Barbara, California. One of the many reasons I love photography is that I get to meet people from many different walks of life.
However, I must say that this portrait session was a memorable.
Not only was it an honor to photograph this genius of an actor, but he was/is also very genuine, honest, and kind. He is a spiritual man; after all he did portray the Mahatma, in the multi-award winning film Gandhi.
I’ve been working on my portfolio website, looking through thousands of images; but more importantly looking at them through different eyes – and different apps. The images posted on my blog were recorded on Kodak Black and White Tri-X film; which I developed myself, and color slide film. For the black and white image, I did a painless adjustment using Priime and instagram.

Published on May 24th 2015: The Mic has quoted NPR “This spill is particularly bad news because it strikes at the Santa Barbara Channel, which NPR calls “one of the most biologically rich places on the planet.”
According to the National Park Service website the Santa Barbara Channel Islands: “Channel Islands National Park has more endangered species that only exist within this park than any other unit of the National Park Service. This means that survival of these plants and animals depends entirely on our ability to protect and restore the habitat of the five park islands.“
