Symbol of a Tradition

Isn’t it seems fortunate that we have our grandparents with us and look after them every day. Yes they are old and some day they will leave us. Have you thought about our old traditional art, they are fading away from us and some day they will not with us anymore? Terracotta is one of those kinds, where the wheel is used to make pottery. Terracotta is worldwide famous artwork. It bears in itself the story of the people, their wheel of life and culture of Bengal. This tradition came to an end with the beginning of global architectural techniques. But after long discontinuation, Terracotta art begins its new journey in quest of heritage.

Symbol of a Tradition

Hirak Ghosh from West Bengal took this photograph of wheel. It’s a nice still life photograph with a color that gives us traditional feelings of rural Bengal. Have you seen this photograph before? Have you visited any pottery village in India ever? Yes it’s different and so down to earth! I bet you would love it. Let me know what do you think?

Was it My Depicting Dream ?

Entering into my room, mom says – Oh! my little child, what are you doing? No! I am not child anymore, but i miss my childhood days and enjoy this morning conversation everyday, as my mom think me as little child as I was. Days back seeing a photograph made me think, what actually was my depicting dream when I was a child?

Was it My Depicting Dream?

Its a photograph that I saw in my favorite photography magazine Light and Composition. Photographer Debjani Chowdhury took this beautiful photograph “Depicting Dream” of her child. It was a hot and humid day in India. Her child came back from her school, and start drawing her dream home in the nature.  Simply taking me back to my childhood.

Photographer Debjani is a homemaker and doing her masters in economics. She is really passionate about photography, this is the first time I see her photography, I must say she has a creative touch in her work. What do you think? Let me know. 🙂

Leica’s Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera

This morning i was surfing through dpreview website and really amazed to see the news. Leica’s CEO is reported to have confirmed the company will introduce a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera system. Reading farther, I also found The British Journal of Photography (BJP) quotes Alfred Schopf as saying: “It’s more than an idea. You will see something at the next Photokina [trade show].” He also told them that it will use an: “APS-C sized sensor at least.” The move would see the German company (which already makes the fixed-lens APS-C-sensor X1 model, pictured) join Panasonic, Olympus, Sony and Samsung in the large-sensor mirrorless market – the fastest growing camera segment in most countries.

I want to be with the Lion

I love wildlife photography, love the thrill of it, even when I am watching Wildlife in National Geography. I was always wondering if I could ever be in the wild and take photographs that surprise everyone.

No! going to Africa would be too costly for me, but then again if the mighty lion come just in front of me then why not taking a photo of him. “It was exciting to capture a king surveying his kingdom.” – that was the word of photographer Victor Howard who took the photograph “Just Lion Around”.

Just Lion Around

Victor is an amateur photographer who took up photography as a hobby to expand his perspective and develop his creative side. I have seen his photography before but haven’t seen him doing wildlife. Though the photograph was in Walt Disney World Animal Kingdom Kilimanjaro Safari ride but this is a Wildlife Photograph by every means. I saw this photo first in Light & Composition Magazine in there Wildlife section, looking at the photograph it’s always make me wonder if I can be with the lion, at least once in this life.

Guys Let me know how you think about this photo
