My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

India | Sunday, June 23, 2013 | flickr photos

I was born in 1979 and grew up in Canning (WB, India), the gateway of the Sunderbans. I have been dabbling with photography since I was 13 years old. Since the time I started working with my first camera, a Canon AE-1 Program to my current gear, Canon EOS 7D & Canon EOS 5D Mark III, I liked exploring the myriad images that Indian villages have to offer. Hailing from a village myself, my eyes are drawn towards those elements that I can identify with, that are hidden from a city dweller.
In addition, I have established the only international Archive of Photography Exhibition (www.ape.threedots.in) in the world building my collection of over 10,000 brochures from photography exhibitions across the world

I think photography is all about the eye; you either see things or are influenced to see things. Having travelled a long way from the bare feet camera toting village lad to a frantic shutterbug to a selective shooter to now an international collector of Brochures of photography exhibition, I want you to see a slice of my life's elements through my images...
