Arches National Park, Moab, Iphone Panorama

Today is that day of the year when I just step out of all the traditional travel and nature photo related posts and random ramblings, but dedicate this post to my dear sister without whom neither me nor JTN would have been what it is today. She is one person who not only encourages me with what ever i do ( even mistakes ) but also ensures she kicks me on my back to ensure i correct it and go in the right path ( atleast she tries ). So without any delay heres me wishing my dearest sis Archie a very very happy birthday. Wish you a many many more of wonder ful years ahead and do continue to support ( and also kick me on my back ).

And most of you who have been following this blog for last few years know that, this post is not complete without a traditional “announce something new related to web” writings. Usually i update my website to look something new or similar, but this year due to time constraints i was/am not able to complete something which i wanted to share with you folks on this day – but am happy to disclose that I will be a launching a all new identity and branding which is outside my “Journey Through Nature” platform which will showcase my non nature and travel photography portfolio but also will be a platform where you would see something really new and exciting things with regard to photography and video services.  There will be regular updates regarding a movie that am currently working on and showcase photos and videos of some commercial work that am doing outside the JTN portfolio. I will stick to and continue to update and maintain JTN blog as thats my primary base, but this new venture which will be accessible under “www.shivakumar.net” will be my portoflio for various other genres of work and updates reg a surprise element am working on for the photo industry in coming months. I will post a new blog and will share the link to the new site in few days/weeks time. Until then . . .

the journey continues . . .
