To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
-- William Blake
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one :)
~~John Lennon
I Lurrrve colors...ever since I was a kid, I wanted to capture fancy pictures of my garden, the aging tree in front of our house, the vibrant flowers around the yard - anything that enthralled me at that tender age.
I'm still called *Wordsworth* at home, because I *love* nature and anything related to it... ^_^
Anyways, I'm a bonafide Business Graduate and an IT specialist, haven’t taken any courses on photography -- its just me, my Xti and my creative zinG!
I remember my aunt's antediluvian canon film camera - it was black and silver and heavy; I wasn’t really allowed to touch it. =D but I would still sneak it out without her knowing that. It felt so good holding it, like a prized possession. I guess that instigated the revolt. =)
I got a canon point & shoot camera in my Intermediate days, but that was just for taking pictures at functions or family gatherings..
My Gear:
- Canon EOS 5D mark II (03.07.10)
- Canon EF 24-105mm f4 L IS (30.10.10)
- Canon EF 50mm 1.4 USM (07.8.10)
- Canon EOS REBEL Xti/ 400D (11.08.08)
- Kit lens 18-55mm
- 50mm f1.8 (24.09.08)
- Canon 580EX II speedlite Flash (30.12.09)
- Sony DSC H5 [Ultra zoom]
This gadget bolstered me profoundly in delineating the kind of shots that I always wanted to shoot..like scrupulous macros!
- Sony VCL M3358 close up lens, it induces a spread of a beautiful shallow DOF and bokehs..
- Photoshop CS4 - Hell yeah! \m/
- Lightroom 1.4
Wish list:
Canon EOS 5D mark II
- 70 - 200mm f2.8 L II lens
- 24 - 70mm f2.8 L
- 50mm f1.4 lens
- 100mm f2.8 USM macro lens
- 580 EX II speedlite Flash
Flickr addiction:
I always have a complacent look on my face after uploading my stuff here on flickr! Flickr has given a voice to my experiences, my passions, my expression and the creativity in me.
And all those people, who take out time to view, comment and fave my images - Thank you so much! Your input means a lot to me - it motivates and creates more exuberance to produce better work...
A word of caution:
**Please dont add me, if you dont have any photos to share!**
I will not mark you back as a contact, if I find x-rated photography in your photostreams or such groups in your group list - I do check this profoundly before adding a contact.
**My photostream is no stock site, so kindly ask permission for using my work on a commercial level or for other use. I'll be grateful!**
A somewhat *harsh* policy:
Flickr is every photographer's playground, we all log in on daily basis to upload our latest splendors or check comments on the previous ones. Yesterday I was faced with a strange delimma and It actually made me realise alot. I was commenting on a contact's shot when I came across this amazing photostream. I commented and faved a couple of his shots and later added him. To my surprise, he mailed me asking why I had added him further stating that I must be one of those who add for the sake of growing their contact list and not commenting later.
Anyways, I did find this very rude and asked him to check his comments. He mailed back an apology delineating a dark, true fact.
Many people add you as a contact, and never look back. They dont even bother commenting - even if you're in their list.
We all love appreciation, dont we? So I guess if someone is taking out the time to comment and appreciate your photography, you should too.
I know its hard, but from today onwards id be deleting contacts who have a habit of not commenting back.
Thank you!

It's hard to say something that has never been said before about her amazing talent and her stunnig photos. From the moment I found her stream on Flickr I became a huge fan of her art. She has such a unique style and can shoot so many different things. May it be droplet macros, portraits, flowers or self portraits. Speaking about selfies she is seriously one of the best artist when it comes to that. Her photo manipulation rock. Most of the time I can just say "wow" whenever I see a new upload. But she is not only an extremely talented photographer and artist, she is also one of the nicest people I've met on Flickr. I am so glad I have found her. She is such a huge inspiration for me and I thank her for that!!! I'm so glad to have you on my contact list, girl. Keep up the great work. You rock :-) Love, Sunny

She is a cute, creative & genius photographer; Not to forget that; as a person she's friendly, co-operative & full of joy n happiness. I still remember when I first came across her photo stream it gave me goose bumps and I said to my self "Man! She’s insanely talented" She foresees things far above imagination. From water drops to super macros, to bokehlicious shots... This girl knows how to stun viewers. She is definitely the "Queen of Macro" and I personally love her bokeh work and that is where I caught this virus. Thank you for being an inspiration. =)
