Padmini’s Palace, Chittorgarh Fort, Rajasthan Rani Padmini’s Palace is from which Alauddin Khilji (one of the rulers of Khilji dynasty during the sultanate rule over India) was allowed to watch a reflection of the Rani by replacing the mirror at such an angle that even if he turned back he could not see the room. Khilji had been warned by the Rani’s husband Rawal Ratan Singh that if he turned back they would cut his neck.

Photography at its core is all about sharing, sharing an expression of our feelings, perceptions, and observations about the world around us, for now and for all time. The camera is simply a tool in this process – what is most important is what we communicate. The tool we choose to use for our visual storytelling is like a close friend that helps us and accompanies us on our journey and it is important that we choose a good friend that we like and even admire.

What we have to say with photographs has so much to do with who were are as a person, and even who we want to be as a person. Photographs are an expression of our passions, the things we like, the things that make us happy, that make us angry, that make us confused, that we want to know more about, and in the end, photographs are not only about the stories/poems about the world we see, but they are also a testament and legacy of our individual lives.
