about me

I am not a photographer, at least not a working professional, and I never have been. I am simply someone who loves to capture moments, edit images, and store them away on a hard drive. Photography has always been a passion rather than a profession.

I live in Atlanta with my wife of 35 years, who patiently tolerates all the challenges and adventures that come with our travels to remote corners of the world. We are blessed with two daughters, both of whom make us immensely proud. Our older daughter married a wonderful young man who shares a passion for golf. These days, many of our weekends revolve around our grandson and granddaughter, whose energy, laughter, and curiosity bring endless joy to our entire family.

My fascination with photography is rooted in my childhood. Growing up in a small town in India, I developed a deep connection with nature from an early age. Travel opportunities were rare, but one birthday my parents gave me a set of Encyclopedia Britannica volumes. Those books opened a window to the wider world and sparked a lifelong sense of curiosity.

As I grew older, I became increasingly aware of the delicate balance that exists within nature and the interconnectedness of plants, animals, and ecosystems. During high school, I was deeply inspired by the work of Dian Fossey and her dedication to protecting mountain gorillas. Her story ignited my passion for wildlife conservation and strengthened my belief that every animal possesses an inherent dignity and an equal right to exist.

Photography became a natural extension of that passion. Through my camera, I seek not only to document the beauty of the natural world but also to celebrate and respect the remarkable wildlife with which we share this planet.
