arindam

what do you see here in this photograph ???...i can see a photographer looking at his LCD on a very busy road... he is just like that ... when he is in the field, he will be so much engaged in his work that you can see his concentration like that ... i have the opportunity to see him closely... started photography lately and growing up like anything.. new concept of art, photography and thinking .. all are blended into a single frame.. and thats how he captures the moment... i enjoy discussing about photography with him any moment and any day ... he is so talented and yet reserved...
... ok , 'nuf said...he is arindam, arindam thokder... now do a google on him...

claude

it was just like another winter afternoon ... no work at office... casually i was browsing through a photography site called pbase, and suddenly i got stuck infront a photograph... i was moved by the composition of that photograph... nothing complicated, but simple... one lady in pink saree was stepping down from konark temple... i wrote a comment on that photograph... and guess what, i got a reply from the photographer... his name is Claude Renault...a middle-aged french photographer in love with India...

... it was a story 2.5 years back ... i am lucky to be close with him... i learned a lot from him about photography...tips and techniques... and everything... my photographic journey started by his inspiration... i have seen him closely... i have seen his passion for India, his love for the people of India...

besides a great photographer, he is a great human being too...it is nice to have him within us...

aditya

aditya came to office at 5:55 AM in the morning yesterday ...as soon as he came, he started insisting me to go out for a shoot ! ... so early in the morning !! and going out from the office !!!... i was little confused... he told me , there was a solar eclipse early in the morning... he quickly browsed through internet, found the time of the sunrise ( he is a internet geek too !)and took his helmet to go out immediately... i was a silent follower...

i don't carry my camera always...but i had my compact camera with me that time... we headed towards an unfinished building to see the sunrise... it was a very different sight to be seen with the slice of sun rising... he got some good photographs... he was happy ... i felt good...
