PS: If you get interested in Vandit's page, note the reason for his calling himself a "restless photographer". I would think it applies to me too, although I am more restless than an engineer.
Quote "For me, travel - be it to the mountains, the national park or a far-off location - is all about exploring the region and uncovering its secrets (and no, reading the Lonely Planet doesn't count): in other words, breadth. On the other hand, photography is all about spending time in a given location, waiting for the light and "the moment": in other words, depth. These two impulses pull in different directions. Hence the Restless Photographer."
