"brEAtHe uR aLiVe "

Wud u believe if I say I am like a huge fiery comet, a shooting star.
Everyone stops ,points up and gasps
"Oh look at that!"
Then- whoosh,and I'm gone...and they'll never see anything like
it ever again...and they won't be able to forget me- ever.:)
Okai ..Me - an engineer by profession and a photographer by passion.
Currently working in Bangalore.
I'm a Bangalorean& love being so.Exploring new is refreshing !

"Great photography is simple"

My straying thoughts have got me obsorbed into philosophy,photography,
rock n roll,....
family & friends( who else can be truly loved,my dad, mom,bro and wife r the best )....
Jim Morrison(priviledged to visit his birth place in florida &The Doors concert ),
Pink Floyd( half the world of music wud have had no meaning without them),
Jiddu Krishnamurti( the greatest mind of modern times ),Osho.....
Meditation ( meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance - If Budda said that,it can't be ignored.)
Vipasanna( I am trying to WATCH that ME in myself.
but it is scary yet peaceful-Hope u know what I mean.)

"The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE"

Trees (they r special,they r complete,they r peaceful ).
love & peace(a friend told me to smile in traffic jams 2)...
kodai,India(the clouds stand still here,the flora glows, the trees r beautiful ,u witness urself),
Bangalore(a comfortably numb home),Goa(where r the hippies never die)
and finally
PHOTOGRAPHY( started to explore My Mind's Eye seriously since late 2005 - the world looks beautiful ,larger and calling.I just can't stop contemplating everything n anything around me now !! Inspiration - the desire to capture Kodai in its true beauty !)

"People always ask me what camera I use. It's not the camera, it's - - - "

Cheers to all.Keep Smiling!!!

"I have lost my smile
but don't worry
The dandelion has it "

Cpt<HUN> says:

"The perfect technical workout is not the main couse I call this photographer a magician, but the ability and mood he can translate his visual fantasy, as he comprehends & builds up a picture. This together I call real fine art. There is a good present, and a big future in this artist.
I will surely follow his works."

Meghna Sejpal says:

"Ram has an absolutely amazing eye that can 'SEE' what we usually overlook...his vision clubed with his extra-ordinary technical skills makes each of his pic a masterpiece. It is a learning experience to see his photographs for the people like me who have just started exploring photography. I thank him for encouraging & guiding me.

And thanks Ram ..Its a pleasure exploring the world through your eyes..."

Divs Sejpal says:

"It feels really nice to know someone like Ram (I know him only through his pics). Spot on eye for a frame, master brainwork and unmatched post processing. An ideal example of a new-age photographer, applying technology to intended use. Every pic of him is a special one, speaking in itself of special treatment… God bless.."
