Venture with Photography

Sunrise: my snap: 2014
I never thought seriously about photography, though I possess a very simple Nikon camera just to keep with me so that I can take photos of my clients from abroad as a proof of work or better to say, as a memento of reminiscence. Since the middle of 2012, I started taking photos of my garden and village and the places around my village just to kill the time and to see how much I can interpret well through this camera. But, practicing rigorously with it, I found some photos came excellent even through this camera. It boosted my encouragement and I continued to take photos of nature. Then, since 2013, I started taking photos of my city Kolkata, the moods of people, situation or a fragrance of moment which tells a story. Though the photos didn't come as a professional, but they could able to interpret the story line. By this time, I bought a smartphone also through which I started taking videos which energized me much more than before. When, I decided to travel to the places of Pallava dynasty last November, one of my students, after going through some of my snaps, encouraged me to take it seriously and to take photos of Pallavas in such a way so that I can be reached at entire world by representing these mind blowing places. After coming back from a successful journey, I first uploaded some photos to Flicker and got some nice response from the co-photographer of that site, which pushed me to register in National Geographic Magazine and other well known photography sites as well . By posting some selective snaps of mine, I became quickly known as an active family member of photography which is now a very serious topic to venture with.
