What inspired you to take the photo selected for the calendar? What inspired you to participate in the MWH photo contest?
The photo was taken in Cappadocia, which with its fascinating landscapes and bizarre rock formations can turn any one into photographer.
Creating memories on frames has always been my passion .When I saw the Caption Building better world I could easily co-relate the captured pictures with it that I couldn’t stop myself from participating.
If you could go anywhere in the world to take photos where would you go? Why?
I would love to go to north pole to capture the northern light. Consider it miracle of nature or the collision of energetic charged particles; it is something which has always astonished me.
What do the photos you take say about you as a person?
The magic of photography has not only intrigued me, but the translation from the click of the shutter to a finished image has always inspired me to put heart and soul into the thing I do. My photos can tell my inclination towards creativity. Photography is where I belong, Slowly, I found myself drawn to this amazing world of light paintings.
What does the MWH purpose of Building a Better World mean to you?
As an individual everyone has a common goal of making their life better than the best. Through MWH I see this goal on a bigger scale, where whole world is a family and we all work together for a making it a better place to live. Nothing could be more satisfying and fulfilling than this, where we work together to transform from a normal world to “better” world, where each and every person has the capacity to make an impact on each tiny part by a simple dedicated contribution towards the society.
