About me - Friendly, Honest and Sincere.

I was introduced to photography at an early age, with my Dad's Yashica and Canon film cameras. I would use them at school events and take pictures of here-and-there. After this initial play with the camera, photography, an already expensive hobby, took a backseat to other pressing needs in life - like, earning a livelihood.

I met Uma at the start of this century, and married her a couple of years later. Uma encouraged me on my photography interest. We bought our first digital camera - an entry level (3 MP) Kodak a few months after our marriage. Later we bought a Canon PowerShot and now I have a Canon DSLR. I owe it to Uma for helping me improve my photography skills. I love the way she keeps pushing me gently, with words like - 'No, not this one yet - your best is yet to come', or 'Yes, this one's better than the one from yesterday'...

I took a workshop "Introduction to Art and Science of Photography " in Jul/Aug-2010 by Kalyan Varma [ Wikipedia ] [ Website ]. This workshop brought a major transformation in my photography. It helped me understand the power of my camera, the science behind it all, the aesthetics, and most importantly - the power of conveying a message with the 'right' photograph.

I realize that photography is a beautiful avenue for visual expression. In my photographs, I aim to 'capture moments that delight'.
