My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph. ~Richard Avedon

I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything. ~John Steinbeck

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. ~Ansel Adams

You don't take a photograph, you make it. ~Ansel Adams

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

Every time someone tells me how sharp my photos are, I assume that it isn't a very interesting photograph. If it were, they would have more to say.

"I love Pankaj's work, he really sees the spirit of his homeland and paints her with light, in so many different guises and forms.

Whenever I look at his photostream I am homesick for India, my adopted and recently neglected homeland... and long to return...the quality of the light is unique and I long to be able to paint with it like Pankaj."

"Pankaj ji is a great photographer. He has captured this kind of photos, who I was always looking for. His photos are so brilliant that all of them are my favorite [I have not marked all, just too many...]. I love this tags: india, kumbhamela, sadhu, sadhvis. It gives me life and inspiration to see his photos and brings my memory back to the good old days, when I used to stay in holy places like Radhakund in Mathura and Navadwip in WB. ... I thank u Pankaj for sharing this dreamlike shots with us and for accepting me as a contact!"
