Based on inspiration from littlecow a.k.a balakumar, I have decided to revive my photoblog which went into life-support a few months back.

The idea is simple, I will post pictures which are either cropped, color adjusted, magnified or maligned in one of many digital ways so as to make them unidentifiable except to the keen eye. Suggestions welcome. To make it interesting, points shall be awarded for the first correct guess.
