Rural India - A new fine art photograph

Rural India always fascinated me as a subject for photography. Hence I wouldnt let go of any opportunity to picture colors of it since I visit such places less frequently. This new photography subject is something that makes me think of lives of the women and girl children from these places. The place I had been to was almost cut off from the "developed" lands, the road connectivity being poor. The land is super-rich and the soil full of mother-earth though. There is definite water shortage though. Tribals do walk down all the way to fetch a "penny" of water. The women and girls do join in their team-work which perhaps motivates them to do this pain-staking job. I was amazed by the smiles and calmness on their faces though, their enthusiasm was commendable and last but not the least- their eagerness to get photographed. This photography made my day :-) For more details on this photography, do visit my etsy shop page http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=44424807

More about Sri, in his own words..Read on.

"Everyone is an artist in some way or the other. Only the degree varies. Some are born artists, some develop it during their lifetime and there are some who have an artistic instinct.

I probably fit in the last category where I purely go by my instincts to create artworks and my passion for photography allows me to do this.

It was my schooling years in Kolkata, India, when I used to watch keenly a family photographer friend of ours take photos of functions and that got me interested in photography from my early age. But I had to wait for a long time after that before I could own a camera and start clicking. And I had to wait a few more years after that, before I fell in love with the SLRs and now the digital ones.

I am the happiest when I am clicking and always strive to get that 'perfect shot' in whatever subject I shoot. Sometimes I win, sometimes I don't and that's what I love about this art. To sum it up, photography and I are inseparable. "
