As an octogenarian engineer and co-founder of the Youth Photographic Society, established in 1972, my journey in photography has been deeply shaped by the mentorship of photo-artist E. Hanumantha Rao. My work has focused primarily on capturing the early moments of nature, wildlife, and the majestic landscapes of the Himalayas. Through my images, I aim to document and preserve the beauty and intricacies of these environments, reflecting both their fragility and grandeur. Photography has been a way for me to connect with the world and share its wonders with others.
