Bettada Jeeva Photo

Photographer’s Note

Bettada Jeeva - A person who's qualities are as high as that of mountains where he used to live. Shot during my last hiking to Kumara Parvata. He is living in a valley called "Girigadde" since past 30 years.

His home and 5 acre farm is isolated and its 6KM from Subramanya town, from where they need to carry thier daily needs by walk and carrying upto 25KG load on thier head. They use solar for power, mobile, radio, news paper for communication. But he is more satisfied with his life.

You have used the light very well. Narration is quite touching. Yes, Money has nothing to do with satisfaction in life. About the picture. if you use the wall on the left as a thumbrule, you could see it is slightly slanted. Otherwise, the light is perfect and the shadows and the beaten down walls all have come out superb.

Cheers
