People | The Chosen One

PREVIOUS | CURRENT | NEXT

Cheers! I am one of the finalists for the Best Asian Photoblog of 2006! Woo hoo!
It is an achievement, just to be nominated along with people like Imran, whose extremely high standards of photography always dazzles me. That's an honour, to be mentioned along with the other nominees. Best of luck to all! Thanks Ashish for the heads up, I didn't know I was in the finalists until he mailed me :)
It's really amazing. A really small idea on the morning of my board exams turning into this. I just love looking back at all the things that brought me here. All the friend's I've made, the people I've met. Photoblogging is just fantastic. Thank you to everyone who visits, especially Laurie, Micki, Suby, PhotoSam, Stardog, Mrinal, Shiv, Brent and everyone else who takes the time to visit. Please don't be offended if I have left out your name, I'm just trying to give credit where it is due. I always read your comments, and value them.

This is definitely the motivation I needed to take my photography more seriously.

nice one!!
Your street photography has edge, don't worry about comparing youself to others as it's a nasty trap to fall into!

And a great day it is, my friend!! I saw your nomination just this morning and was tickled thinking about how pleased you'd be! Definitely a moment worthy of a self portrait!! And one that takes all the mystery away from curious minds. Enjoy the moment and good luck to you!

Eeeck, shiver me timber, who the ugly brother in the image? LOL Congrats bro, me so happy and proud of you, hope you win, you have definitely come a long way from them days of editing with Picasa LOL, Now to the shot, I know you had to add the wall into the shot cause add the txt so it works.

As I have always said, you do need to pay a little bit more attention to your photography, you know I think you have loads of talent when it comes to photography but you do not give it enough time to develop to its full potential.

Congrats again.

Congratulations and thanks for the mention Azhar!
Best of luck with the awards, though I suppose there is nothing much you can do now, is there?

For once nothing much to say about your shot, though I think you were not expecting any comments about it.
