TO SPEAK ABOUT MYSELF, IN THE YEAR 2003 I JOINED A PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB IN CALCUTTA,”PHOTOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION OF BENGAL” AND INTERESTED IN THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY. I DO NOT HAVE ANY FORMAL TRAINING IN PHOTOGRAPHY, I TRY TO TRAIN MYSELF BY CONTINUOUS PRACTICE, SO I HAD TO TRAVEL A LOT WITHIN INDIA, MIXING WITH THE PEOPLE, ATTEND RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL FESTIVALS TO GET MATERIALS FOR MY PHOTOGRAPHS. AS A CITIZEN OF INDIA AS WELL AS A RESIDENT OF KOLKATA, I HAVE SEEN DURGA PUJA FESTIVAL FROM MY CHILDHOOD, SO I CHOOSE “DURGA PUJA FESTIVAL” AS MY SUBJECT OF SCHOLARSHIP,IF I WIN I WII GET A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE TO TRAVEL PERU, AN ANCIENT CIVILIZATION WITH MR.JASON EDWARD, WHICH WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR MYSELF NOT ONLY “ON THE SPOT”BUT ALSO FOR MY FUTURE PLANNING OF MY PHOTOGRAPHY. ON THE QUESTION OF MY CONTRIBUTION TO GREATER COMMUNITY, I SHOULD SAY THAT I WILL DEFINITELY COME OUT WITH EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH MAY BE VIEWED BY OTHERS LOCALLY OR INTERNATIONALLY. https://journals.worldnomads.com/dproy/photos/51319/India/My-Scholarship-entry-DURGA-PUJA-FESTIVAL-IN-KOLKATA Travel India dproy https://journals.worldnomads.com/dproy/photos/51319/India/My-Scholarship-entry-DURGA-PUJA-FESTIVAL-IN-KOLKATA#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/dproy/photos/51319/India/My-Scholarship-entry-DURGA-PUJA-FESTIVAL-IN-KOLKATA Fri, 21 Nov 2014 18:07:00 GMT 0 I AM, DEBAPRASAD ROY, RETIRED FROM BANKING INDUSTRY, NOW AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER.
