TO SPEAK ABOUT MYSELF, I TOOK MY FIRST PHOTOGRAPH IN THE YEAR 1968 WITH A KODAK’S “CLICK III” CAMERA. I BAUGHT MY FIRST “SLR - PENTAX K 1000” IN 1992, ONLY TO SHOOT MY FAMILY MEMBERS, MANUMENTS AND LANDSCAPES. TREKKING IN THE REMOTE PLACES OF HIMALAYAS WAS MY FAVORITE DESTINATIONS FOR LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY. THIS TREKKING AND PHOTOGRAPHY WAS ONLY AND TRUELY FOR MY PERSONAL PLEASURE. BEFORE THE YEAR 2003, I NEVER TOOK PHOTOS WHICH IS NOT RELATED WITH MY FAMILIES. AFTER JOINING A PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB “PHOTOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION OF BENGAL”IN CALCUTTA, I GRADUALLY CAME TO KNOW THE FIELD OF PHOTOGRAPHY, SLOWLY REALISED THE ART, TECHNICQES, IMPORTANCE OF CAMERA, LENS, PHOTOSHOP,SALONS, FIAP, PSA, ETC. IN PHOTOGRAPHY. FROM 2009, I STARTED TO TAKE PART IN WORLD WIDE PHOTO COMPETITIONS TO UNDERSTAND MY OWN STANDARD. THE PROCESS IS STILL ON AND WILL BE ON TILL MY DEATH. I DO NOT HAVE ANY FORMAL TRAINING IN PHOTOGRAPHY, OWN EXPERIENCE IS MY OWN TRAINING, BUT IF I WIN, I WILL DEFINITELY GET SOME VALUABLE TIPS ON THE SPOT FROM MR.JASON EDWARD. IF I CAN LEARN FROM THOSE TIPS, I WILL SURELY COME OUT WITH SOME GREAT SHOTS ON LANDSCAPES. ON THE QUESTION OF MY CONTRIBUTION (AFTER GREENLAND EXPERIENCE) TO GREATER COMMUNITY, I SHOULD SAY THAT I WILL DEFINITELY COME WITH EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEXT COMPETITIONS, NOT GB’S OF DOCUMENTS. MY LAST REALISATION IS, I CANNOT BE A PROFFESIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER AT THIS AGE (62 YEARS RUNNING), TOO MANY YOUNG PROFESSIONALS IN CALCUTTA ITSELF, WHO WILL CHOOSE ME??
