Mahout Bathing and Elephant, India
Photograph by Mohit Midha
Watching a mahout lovingly bathe his elephant, I tried capturing the moment from the riverside but wasn’t satisfied with what I saw through the viewfinder. There was something lacking that made the image not do justice to the scene. I then climbed a tree with a branch extending out over the water and got my shot, which may have been my last as I almost fell off after taking it. I’m sure the beautiful elephant would not have been very happy about me falling out of a tree straight onto her stomach!

I would really like to know the circumstances of this photograph. Did a rock just fall down a hill and hit that car perfectly in the center and then someone put eyes and a mouth on it?

Four years ago, today, Rock Ed Radio went on air for the first time over (the late) NU107 airwaves. *sniff*
Our first ever guests were Pochoy Labog (now Malay, then Dictalicense), Ebe Dancel (now solo, then Sugarfree) & Nino Avenido (Greyhoundz, Out of Body Special) — we discussed our attitude towards media. ”Do you still watch/read the news? Why/Why not?”
1 April 2007.
Lourd de Veyra and I had almost zero radio-broadcasting experience prior to Rock Ed Radio & look at Lourd now. He’s a TV5 MEGA-asset. I’m so proud he is my colleague and friend.
Wuhoo.
April is a good month. :)
