📷 About This Photography Newsletter

Where Light Meets Legacy – Photography, Passion, and Storytelling

👋 Welcome!

I’m thrilled you’re here. This is not just a newsletter—
it’s a window into a lifelong journey of capturing the world through the lens of curiosity, culture, and creativity.

🎨 My Journey in a Frame

From a childhood immersed in arts, architecture, sketching, and painting, I found a new medium of expression in 1982—thanks to a dear friend, Sridhar, whose Olympus camera transformed our travel memories into something more lasting.

That’s when I picked up my own camera.
That’s when my story as a photographer began.

📖 I read.
👥 I joined photography groups.
🎓 I trained, practiced, and grew.
📸 I upgraded to a professional SLR and never looked back.

Today, with over four decades of experience, I continue this journey—refining, learning, and sharing what photography means beyond just taking pictures.
