What is Art?
It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.

About Me
Photography is a passion for me. I find the very essence of my rejuvenation from photography. My tools for photography are quite inexpensive and simple. I am an 100% autodidact photographer. I love manual SLR's but alas it is history now. So my new equipment - D40X with a 18-55mm lens and also AF70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro.


My camera list : -
1) Nikomat FTN - One of my friends father had this camera and let me use it. Till date I think this is one of the best Nikon has made.

2) Zenith 12xp - The first camera I bought. Low budget Russian camera. Never had many controls. Came with a M39X1 58mm 1:1.2 MC lens. Very rugged and last but not the least very good output.

3) Zenith 122 - My second cam. All like the Zenith 12xp just had an AK/PK mount and I was able to buy a 70-210 Vivitar zoom to go with it. This cam was not as rugged as the elder brother.

4) Nikon F80 - Purchased by my friend but used by me (he actually used it less than me). One of the last warriors of the Film cameras from Nikon. Completely automatic with too much functions that dwarfs today's DSLRs.

5) Nikon D40X - My present camera. One of the best low end amateur camera from Nikon. Has most of the feature an Amateur would ever need.

6) Nikon D3X - My Dream Camera.....
