Today I breached 2500 views on My Flicker

Photography has been keeping me occupied lately on a personal Front .I had a faint idea that I had the Eye but It took lot of thinking to actually get into it.
Today I will take this moment to recollect my reservations and how I convinced myself to do some things in the regard to photography.

Well the first time I experimented with Digicam was in college , Back then it was a novelty of sorts.Very Expensive and not exactly under the reach of an Engineering student like me .I dont even have any relatives in US or UK who would expose me to this kind of technology.The first encounter was thanks to two of my friends in College Karthikeyan aka 'Lala' and NaraGirish aka 'Mama'.These were the guys who first showed me this tech.The Glass paintings that me and my roomie suresh did when we were in college was one of the first things that I photographed using a Digicam(thanks to mama).

Then I got a 5 MP canon powershot in the second year of my career.It was robust and did its job.But I was wondering how I can take the snaps that people take .Photography is an Expensive Hobby(in fact it still is ).When my powershot almost died on me, i decided that I will buy a camera.Initially I had a point and shoot in mind but then Ravi my college roomate who was very much into photography inspired me .His Flickr link is hyperlinked here.
I decided to get a basic DSLR for myself and see if in a year I learn and still have that passion will go for more .I Decided on a Rebel Xs.Its a good basic dslr for people who want to experiment with Digital photography.

Based on my Constraints and Interests ...I decided that I would concentrate on Potraits and Food Photography...
My Flciker link will give a better idea of what I keep doing .
