About Halloween, All Saints’ Day, Kekri and a little bit about Christmas too. But mostly about snowy Jack-o’-lanterns on Hoth.
An insight to the character with the name TK-24/7. He has appeared in my photographs for a good while now.
A spaceship is not real but a car is. Does that make a difference in how we perceive an image created with a scale model and some editing?
Musings about an ability of seeing spaceships in an environment where there aren’t any. It’s the power of imagination. Involuntary or not.
I photograph clouds from time to time. Not thinking of spaceships or anything of the sort, only the clouds. Just stopping somewhere for a moment to look at the sky can be mesmerizing. Especially if standing on the shore by …
I’ve never been to Japan. I would like to but I suspect I may never be able to. Sigh. This hasn’t prevented me from admiring the sense of aestethics in the Japanese culture. Or what I see of it through …

What is avanaut.com? Lots of things have happened since the summer of 2009 when I put my first photographs on Flickr. The arrival of the affordable DSLR cameras was just in, the rise of social media and the ebbs and flows …
