IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME PERSONALLY, PLEASE DON'T SEND ME EMAILS INVITING TO VIEW YOUR PHOTOSTREAM/SETS/PICTURES. IT ANNOYS THE HECK OUT OF ME... PLEASE DON'T!!! If I want to check it out, I'll do it on my own time..




Photography - A passion turned into obsession for me.

I like works of Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Annie Leibovitz and Richard Avedon.

I don't like "Smart" cameras.. I'm too dumb to work them. I like something next to a rock, which acts according to my wish and makes picture the way I set it. Also I'm not interested in knowing if a camera can do 100K+ ISO or 24 FPS or 50MPs.... they are just words to me.

We've all made mistakes when we were young and stupid. I did my share of mistakes. I got my digital camera and shot some HDR pictures not knowing how bad it can be. I got into re-hab and got back to film. Been clean for more than 2 years. Remember... Friends don't let friends do HDR.

I shoot Portraits , Landscapes and Stuff in between.

Please don't invite me to award groups, jazzy logo groups. If I leave a comment on your pictures, it's because I like it, please don't be obliged to comment back. (Vice versa is also true, I guess). If you are Mr. Blocky face or have no pictures in your stream I will most likely block when you comment/fave my pictures. Sorry flickr is filling up with weirdos these days :(
