hat’s right, you heard me right!..I can’t even believe it my self guys! I can’t believe it that photo editor Susan Welchman’s of National Geographic picked our picture to be in their website’s Daily Dozen. What ‘Daily Dozen’ really is, it’s pictures that are submitted by the readers of National Geographic. I decided to submit my picture just for fun because it has always been a dream of mine ever since I can remember to be associated in any way at all with the National Geographic Magazine. For me National Geographic’s photography is really stuff of dreams. I have never been more inspired photographically in my life more so, then how the National Geographic has inspired me. I used to sit in the living room and flip through piles and piles of these ‘yellow magazine goodness’ ever since I can remember. My parents were subscribers to the magazine ever since I can remember come to think about it! Anyway I need your help, every month National Geographic will publish a few shots from the ‘Daily Dozen’ in their magazine, so this is your chance to help me out to at least let my pic stand a chance of appearing in the mag perhaps this March/April issue. So please be kind and vote for me if you like my pic. It would really make my childhood dream of having my photo published in this magazine a reality! Here’s the link . Click Here to Vote .

was out yesterday afternoon just doing the usual slinging the camera around to keep practicing on exposure and shooting styles which I often do most of the time. Anyway here are just some shots I managed to capture on my random trip around town with the camera. In many of the pictures I was trying to see things as patterns,shapes and forms. By the way these are not HDR (High Dynamic Range) shots.

In this shot I wanted to contrast the two halves of the image to two separate elements

hen I first started photography a long time ago I used to shoot anything that interested me . You see I never really started photography because I was interested in making money from it. It was always about shooting for the sake of getting a great picture. I guess what really got me into photography was really the curiosity of how photographers get such beautiful images. For whatever reason I have always tried to mimic, duplicate and even impersonate images which I felt really moved me. Symmetry and simplictiy of a composition has always attracted me to like a particular picture. I am a great sucker for highly simple constructed shots, stuff that makes you wonder in your mind ‘Now how did he do that ?’ . I feel in today’s highly constructed society we tend to forget that some of the very great images that we remember in our minds eye are really hardly constructed scenarios. Photography more then anything else is really about ‘Stealing a moment in time’ .

nother important point which I’ve learned over the years is the fact that, ‘a location’ will always change according to time, mood, etc. Go back to the same spot to shoot at another time, another day, a different weather and suddenly a whole new perspective and feel unfolds before your very eyes. When I was younger I was definitely impatient and I always waited and expected things to happen and that I’d get lucky. But in reality those iconic moments hardly happen all the time, and if and when it does you’d better be behind that camera, cause its very rare!
