Milestone
I am proud to make this special entry regarding the 100,000 download milestone for my sxc photos! Wohoo. It all started last summer, equopped with my new camera i decided to attack the boredom and forayed into the art of photography. I remeber the very firts photos i took were of henna on my hands and some summer flower bushes outside the university. Later my brother intorduced my to photoshop and I spent pretty much the whole summer taking and editing pictures of various subjects.
Now its been almost a year and I can say that I have learnt quite a lot from it, apart from being a relaxing hobby it has been very rewarding. Especially when you get requests whether your pictures can be used a book covers, in leaflets, as postcards, for backgrounds, blogs etc.
I guess i've always had interest in more 'creative' activities. The first ever painting/ drawing I remebr was that of a steam boat. I was around 6-7 years old and with the help of my brother I painted a red stream boat with grey smoke comign out of it and dirtying the light blue sky. And ofcourse very comical dark blue wiggly lines representing the unstable sea. The painting was a thank you gift for my younger brother's doctor. The next time I visited the hospital I was ecstatic to see my paiting in the 'common room' wall. Lets not go down the memeory lane as it will only invoke melancholic thoughts.
So to celebrate this milestone, here's a slide show of some of the pohotos ( which has obviously crashed, after having spent 3 hours on uploading the pics to it! technology! dont laugh)
