KrishMandal's photostream

I've been creating travel and landscape images since about 1998 and portraiture for nearly as long. However, I've been photographing on-and-off since childhood, and was initially introduced to a 35mm camera by my father, who owned a Pentax K1000 at the time, and instructed me in the basic inter-connectivity of aperture, shutter speed, film speed and metering. Eventually I became the family photographer by default. Without knowing it, I started a love affair with images of all kinds, not just still photos, but moving images too, all types of realistic art including trompe l'oeil; anything that dazzles the eye, engages the mind, and shows the hidden beauties of our planet. I love beautiful things. But what may be beautiful to me may not be beautiful to you, as in my infatuation with old and dilapidated subjects.
