I am a mechanical engineering student from India. Photography has been my passion since i first picked up my dad's semi-automatic Minolta SLR and took it along for a trek. Till then i didnt believe that the extra weight and volume of an SLR was worth it. Once i picked it up, though, the Pentax Film Point and Shoot has been relegated to some stuffy cupboard.

Its been 4 years since, and i have had the opportunity to visit the himalayas twice with my SLR ( though i didnt quite make the most of it ). You can see some of those shots in the mountains and flowers galleries. My 'specialisation', though, has been with butterfly photography, though i have to go a long way still. 2 of my butterfly photographs are slated to be used in a new book on Indian Butterflies. Otherwise, i mostly shoot Landscapes ( with a particular bias towards tree-in-the-foreground shots ), as you'll realise when you ( if you ?! ) go through the galleries.

I've done a bit of event photography, though i soon realised i have a distinct dislike for it. Well, i currently dont earn my living through photography, so i can i afford not to like it !
