An old entry from 2007:
Recently I caught up with an old flame of mine: photography.
Recently I caught up with an old flame of mine: photography.
When I was growing up, my mom was forever taking pictures. In fact we had so many pictures in our house that we used to store them in huge plastic bags instead of albums. I probably caught the bug from her. During my many experiements as a kid, I managed to break her lovely Olympus which no one was able to repair and we moved on from one camera to another, manuals and automatics. It is a big leap from those days to mobile phone cameras and digital cameras. (When I was a kid, a polaroid was only available in the US!)
What happened recently was that I got into this digital camera community in Orkut by sheer coincidence and then I then went on to flickr.com. Basically a person who has all the time in her hands and nothing to do, the contests in flickr take up all my time now. I live for the comments of the people who visit my pictures and in the evening when Sanjib comes and asks me "How was your day?", I tell him all that my flickr friends had to say in praise of my pictures.
Tomorrow is the last day for submitting coca cola pictures (any picture with anything related to coca cola) and I will surely have a sleepless night! This is the story of my useless life as of now! Hmm...what of someone from corbis sees my pictures and wants to buy the whole lot? Let's end writing and start clicking!
