Intro: My interest in photography dates back to many years, since the time I got my first camera as a birthday gift from my father, it was an automatic point and shoot camera. I started out clicking mundane pictures of city birds like crows and sparrows, which later extended to taking pictures of friends and relatives at gatherings.

Over the years, I must have used a number of cameras, many analog and some digital ones. By far the best pictures I've taken (not only in terms of the results, but in terms of the experiences at the time of taking the photographs) have been the ones I took with my father's canon analog SLR.

I like to take pictures of any and everything interesting, that comes into sight. I donot like to limit myself to any particular subject and enjoy nature photography as much as I would still life. The only subjects I've found difficult to photograph are birds. They are the most elusive and challenging subjects till date.

One thing that photography has taught me : "nothing in the world is so ordinary and real, that it cannot be photographed".
