As a child, I was very fond of a prehistoric 120-format Agfa click 3 camera owned by my uncle. Every time we went out for a vacation, my uncle used to carry that magic lantern with him. As a little boy, I was never allowed to touch the camera and that only instigated my curiosity about the machine. God knows from where I got the idea that there is someone who lives inside a camera and creates the plants, hills, sunsets and human beings who always smile. Years later and much before I started freelance photography, the myth of a man who lives inside a camera was exposed, but the fantasy and magic that revolves around photography still lingers on... I’m now in the field of photography for the last 20 years and working in The Times of India Group as a photojournalist.
