Chocolate Geek's photostream

There is something about capturing images that fascinates me. The ability to freeze a moment in time---sometimes revealing unknown hidden perspectives, sometimes helping remember special moments.
I click often with a camera, and a lot more with the mind.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
--"The Road Not Taken", Robert Frost

"Chocolate Geek aka Vipul is a wonderful person. Nature has gifted him with an eye of a nature-photographer (backed by the family history of avid photographers!), an ability to capture those precious, instantaneous moments.
A person with a good sense of humour, always smiling, will also make you laugh many a times.
Many of his pics have light-and-darkness... depicting a fight between the two.
And you will always find him with his big college bag - the sole purpose being to carry his newly bought D-SLR Olympus wherever he goes!
Dear friend, you're a nice photographer... keep it up buddy."12th October, 2008
