About the Photographer

In a nutshell…

I am dichotomy personified. Seriously playful, yet unyieldingly serious. Acutely intelligent, but prone to ‘blond’ moments. Left-brain logical, yet right-brain creative. Strong and weak. A flawed perfectionist. Candid, yet reserved. Complex in my simplicity. The quintessential romantic. Sensitive, but sensible. An adventurous, international eater and former vegetarian. Addicted to jazz, curries, lattes, wine and Masala Chai. I love orange in summertime. Not a writer, but an accountant who loves to cook and tell. I prefer crunching recipes in lieu of numbers. Armed with a passion for life and good food, tons of cookbooks, an active imagination — and tight jeans! I associate with lots of people, but I pick my friends like I pick my fruit. I am like that only!

I am all about living my life with masti!*

I am a Houston-based food lover who also happens to be a real-life “Girl Interrupted,” in that I am a stage-4 breast cancer survivor who has been through the whole nine — chemotherapy, surgery, radiation and all of the physical, mental and emotional upheaval that accompany such horrible treatments. At the moment, the only other thing I will say is that I am a walking miracle of God. I have decided to put it all behind me and move on with the remainder of my life; however, if I can be of help to anyone whose life has been affected in some way by this insidious disease, please feel free to contact me.

In addition to photography and videography, I enjoy cooking, music, travel, movies (particularly foreign films), art, reading, writing, poetry, good wine, good food, good people. I was also a web and graphics designer in a former life. Each of these is a part of who I am and my life without them would be quite ponderous. It’s all about balance.

Thanks for hanging out with me. I hope you enjoy your visit.

I’m out. Leave the key on the table.

Namasté.
