I really think she was meant to be born back in the days of film, because while her stream only sees new photos once in a while, every single frame is precious.

I really think she was meant to be born back in the days of film, because while her stream only sees new photos once in a while, every single frame is precious. Often simple, always deep, and invariably beautiful, there's an absolute treasure trove here, and it would be a colossal loss for anyone who didn't explore it through till the end. And while photographs can (and do, in this case) open up windows to the soul, they don't tell the entire story - her captions and her comments are pure, gleaming, Eureka-moment gold. Always. The best part is how easy it is to tell there's a real person, alive in every sense of the word, with the gift of getting what she feels across in a frame or a few words. And for that alone, it is a privilege to know Samia. =)

She is a find. A beautiful, adorable find with precious fineries adorned and all in her natural disposition. It hasn't been that long that the name 'neelgolapi' arrived to flickr, but quickly and surely as is the case with most beautiful/wonderful things, she has made her mark among one of my favorite flickerites! … Read more

She is a find. A beautiful, adorable find with precious fineries adorned and all in her natural disposition. It hasn't been that long that the name 'neelgolapi' arrived to flickr, but quickly and surely as is the case with most beautiful/wonderful things, she has made her mark among one of my favorite flickerites! As a photographer, I see her growing every day. She did something wonderful yesterday, she tops that to better today, and so I know that I'll have a treat for my eyes tomorrow. I've often felt that if you have got creativity inside you, it really doesn't take long for others to notice your creation. The ISO's and Shutter speed can be mastered in time, creativity? It's something innate. And Samia has creativity in abundance to say the least. Her blend of the abstract and conceptualization in photography is a sure ticket to great heights. Here's to wishing you the best in all your future endeavors Samia moni :-)
