Hi,My name is Vijayan Menon… from Bangalore, India. An amateur..rekindling a passion for photography from my school days of good old film and the dark room.So much easier and less time consuming with today’s tech! This site is essentially to share images of our “oolagum”(south indian for world) with friends and family and maybe to the wider internet folks.

Funny thing photography…you suddenly start noticing things anew and in a strange way your world expands.And you do develop a creeping ability to understand yourself , others and our surroundings better.

Enjoy the images , head to Freebies section to download or Contact me if that’s cumbersome.

One more thing:All images are created by me and you can do pretty much anything with them (unless otherwise specifically stated).Do attribute to Vijayan Menon and oolagum.com

Cheers
