I came to Instagram to see good photography. There is a lot of junk. and mine is no exception. However, I have had my days, wonany international competitions etc in my 50 years of Photography come July this year. My 0hotos on Instagram are not a representation of my work as I lost almost everything in the great pod of Chennai, India in December 2015. Slowly getting my.life back. Thousands of transparencies, prints and darkroom gone. But, I hope to buy equipment again and start shooting good stuff again. Meanwhile I am relearning in digital what is good and what isn’t. I was impressed by your page and your website. Congratulations.
