It is February. How did that happen? It is as if I blinked and a month just flew right by. Well, it is a new month, and I missed the desktop freebie last month due to travel etc. So this months image is extra special.
Photograph is a funny thing. Anyone can take a picture, cameras are readily available and pretty easy to use. The world is full of photographers. But there is a difference between taking a picture and making a picture. I pride myself in my ability to MAKE a picture. Every image that I produce should stand on its own. It should be beautifully composed and It should tell a story. This image does that, and that is what makes it special. I am a photographer, yes I am. But even more, I am a story teller.

I think this pictures says 'There is beauty all around us. Be it in the contrast of colors and textures to the shades of old and new and the acquiscance of young and old. There is beauty all around us'.

(02.01.10)Hello Sara, this is Ravi from India. I am huge fan of your photographs; I never searched wallpapers for my desktop.
I always used your photograph for decorating my desktop. Please don’t worry I am not misusing your snaps for commercial purpose or neither I am selling those.
It’s just that I love your snaps, especially like these once.
I regularly check with your site and I like to read your stories and humors. Whenever I get the free time in office I only see your website.
I got to know about your photography from “Jayashree Patil”, you took JP and Jolies marriage snaps. From the day I saw those snaps I never ever missed a chance to see your website.
But you are doing the best…. I wish you could take my one snap that at least I can put on FB and MySpace
Take care Sara. You are my mascot, I also love to shoot photograph but seeing your comments on this snap I am kind of depressed that I am not having a single quality to make a picture I just click the snaps

(08.11.10)Ravi, thank you so much for your kind words. I am flattered that you think so much of my work. Please let me know if there is anything that I can help you with as far as photography is concerned. I know what it is like to be learning and if there is anything I can do to help I would love it.
