“Dear PoP,
This is a photo of me outside the national Opera House in the capital, Bishkek. The sign is advertising a performance of Bizet’s Carmen for this past Sunday. It was awesome.”
You guys are adventurous travelers – we’ve nearly all the ‘stans now!
This is actually the 2nd time a PoP t-shirt has represented at the Taj Mahal but this is def. the most excited a reader has been to represent!

“This is from a rooftop at ISAF Headquarters here in the Green Zone of downtown Kabul.”
Awesome. And thank you for your service.
We have a couple new features coming out this week. First let me take the opportunity to introduce Pablo Raw who will be contributing a column on photography tips. Ed. Note: Others readers have expressed interest in a PoPville photography club to get together from time to time. While Pablo will occasionally participate in that as well, I’m gonna set that group up separately, soon. The first meeting will likely be held at Wonderland. Stay tuned.
Pablo in his own words:
“I am pablo.raw
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Pablo, and I am a photographaholic. I carry my camera everywhere, take lots of pictures and some of them happen to be good. His Royal Highness Prince Dan of Petworth asked me to contribute to PoPville by writing a column about photography and I have kindly accepted. (Who can say no to The Prince?).
The idea for the column, is to provide the interested PoPvillagers with tips about taking better photos. Most of the time I would like to talk about things you can do with whatever camera you have, and every once in a while, about things that can be done with most advanced cameras or explain how I’ve done some of the photos posted on this blog.
If you have some suggestions about photography issues you would like me to talk about, feel free to comment on this post, or e-mail me at raw (dot) pablo (at) gmail (dot) com.
Hasta pronto!”

“Dear PoP,
Here it is in Jaipur in the state of Rajasthan, at Jantar Mantar, an astronomical observatory from the 1700s.
I am in front of the samrat yantra, the largest sundial in the world!”
Very, very cool.
Per a readers request – first one to correctly guess where I am gets a free coffee or mojito (your choice).
And of course let me take this opportunity to again thank Eric, the Lord of Petworth, for taking over on Thurs. and Fri. As expected, he did a phenomenal job. And also thanks to all who sent emails while I was gone. Sorry for the delay in response but I promise to get to them this week!

“Just came back from Buenos Aires.
The first one is in an old Italian neighborhood called La Boca. I really like the mural.
The second one is Casa Rosada (the Pink House) is the official seat of the executive branch of the government of Argentina, and of the offices of the President.”
