The Future of India, by Achintya Guchhait

This was taken at a small school near Leapkshi temple, Andhra Pradesh, India. I still remember the chaos it created once these little ones spotted me. I felt like the Pied Piper with the students after me and the teachers their parents. I apologized to them. However, they took it was a welcome break from their studies. They are the bubbly energetic future of India.

It was not until late 2008 when he bought his first digital camera, a canon s5is, and started taking snaps as he liked. With the luxury of capturing snaps and not printing them, it was a dream come true for him. He took up photography more seriously as a year passed. He is currently own a canon 500D. His kit contains a 18-55mm kit lens, a 55-250mm telephoto lens and a tripod. There are a few snaps in his profile using 50mm and 11-16mm lens from his friends.

He is also love to capture human beings in the commonest of places. He has also captured a few portfolios and weddings. He is a techie by profession and a student of photography who takes lessons from all the works that he sees.
