I am NOT a photographer, well at least not a working pro, and I have never been. I’m just a guy that likes to shoot, edit and save on a hard drive. I’m based in Atlanta with my wife of 35 years who tolerates all the challenges during our trips to remote corners of the earth. We are blessed with two daughters who I’m extremely proud of. Our older one got married to an awesome boy who loves golf. Most of our weekends we spend with our young grandson and granddaughter who are a bundle of joy to the whole family. Let’s talk a bit about my past that got me hooked on photography. Growing up in a small Indian town, my childhood nurtured a strong bond with nature. Though travelling was scarce in those days, my parents presented me with Encyclopedia Britannica on my birthday, igniting curiosity. As I matured, I recognized the importance of balance within nature’s elements: plants, animals, and more. Inspired by Dian Fossey’s work in high school, I became passionate about wildlife conservation, upholding the inherent dignity and right to life of all animals.
