I started my pursuit of Photography with frames captured during my travels - be they architecture, locals, sidewalks, sunrise or sunset. They could be photographs that evoke emotions or thoughts, e.g. trying to capture how the past is still alive in the walls of Pompeii (Italy) or the mysticism of Varanasi (India) in today's world. Through these photographs, I have tried to capture how the genius of man co-exists with the wonders of nature to lend any place its distinct character. My work evolved into two parallel series - one on Landscapes and the other on Architecture/Interiors. In addition to shooting landscapes and architecture during my travels, I have never missed an opportunity to capture the scenic beauty of Colorado through my lens during the eight that I spent there.

Towards the end of my work on Architecture/Interiors for a show, I was heavily drawn to the work by Eugene Atget, and I started my new series on Urban Expressions. In this series I have tried to explore many facets of urban dwelling, such as a sense of speed and rush, an urge to shoot for the sky, the pursuit for money (and yet always being dwarfed by dollars) and the need for constant change. But urban life is not only about loneliness and the need to be a cut above. What keeps one going are family moments such as dining and going to the theaters. This series was a process of discovery for me, as I sought to better understand my place in the urban environment, striving for connection with strangers without any opportunity for a second take.

My most recent work has been on StreetScapes in New Delhi, India last year when I was visiting the country (where I was born and raised) after six years. After years of staying away, I felt connected to my roots once again when I hit the roads of New Delhi. I realized that I could appreciate the small things in Indian life much more than I used to when I was living there. I was amazed with the range of subjects that passed through my viewfinder. The common thread that I have tried to portray in this series is that of co-existence in a big city. Many photographers consider India as a place for colors and I do agree with that notion as well. However, this series as many others (Urban Expressions) are in the traditional black and white format. For what remains after you take the color out from a subject are the intrinsic emotions and feelings restored on a two dimension paper.

Although my education is not the typical of a photographic artist (I have a Master's degree in Statistics and Telecommunications), I must say that the pursuit of fine art photography along with my tenure as a Monitor in the Denver Darkroom have shown me how fine art keeps my mind alive as I discover my inner essence and emotions.
