MINOLTA HI-matic 7s II,...the Foremost Memory in my image making experiences,

I met with my first manual Minolta 7sII with a 40mm Rokkor lens, in the wake of the Fifth Avenue of 1979. Then it was disappeared from my view and passed over hands for many years.... and later on, after two decades, returned to my hands. Then I was not known to its mechanism .But over the years ,after a period of six years, I found an expert technician to make it worth for use and started taking photos out of it in roll -films ...thus to develop my skills in image making..still it is in very good condition to get exposed with roll  films so as to get pictures with lasting exposure quality and worthy print outs for reasonable applied purposes.

A Face in the Fifth Avenue..!

During the early days of the Fifth Avenue , in the slow progression of time,I met with a face of a tribal man who belonged to the Eastern hills of the land . It was dark as the raining clouds and dense as the thick forest in the night..,the eyes were burning like the torches in that night forest and the lips were pulsing with thirst..;
This was the characteristic facial features of the man of the hills as depicted in the classical performing art form of Southern India in its dance drama,Kathakali.
I have made this line-drawing out of the 'Paint Brush' option in my PC in 2005.

Fruits on the way to the Fifth Avenue...!

This bitmap image I have made in the last years denotes a milestone on my way through the Fifth Avenue. After the fruitful pursuits in 1979, I have had undergone a tremendous age of struggle and strife to support my existence as an individual and intellectual.It was like the experience went through by a child left in the desert. It took a drastic period to come over the dilemma in my social life that had been lived upon in the rigid circles of the third world but at the extreme of a crisis I have again met with the indications of the Fifth Avenue ahead on the misty roads and found happiness in illustrating the fruitfulness of the age-long strife in this image of fruits in the simple format of paint-brush at that interval of relaxation ..! 

The Coastlines In The Moist Of December And The Plastic Balloons ..

The December 2014 received a farewell in the moist of its last days in the coastlines in the tropics.it was like a memory that had never been swiped away from the chart of  the Fifth Avenue that I had kindled in the childhood squares of my life ! So I walked along the coastline that assembled the fishing and sailing vessels across the misty waters and moist that filled up the air and the landscape in my view..

 The cruise points remained rather lonely with a few boats resting besides the banks and the backwaters were almost still and windless and hence there had been not much people to wait for the cruises or for having any sightseeing...

 Thus, in the perplexity of the cloudy landscape, the last days of 2014 were found quite unwilling to evade from the scene of the new years' eve..! But apart from the scene, on the roads around the lakeside, the traffic was heavy and the evening roads were busy with the crowd , making themselves hasty for the coming year...and among the crowd there found a bunch of plastic balloons in multicolored fluorescence and with shapes of animals and cartoon characters found in television serials !!It was a piece of colorfulness that took the entire stuff of the air away from the moist that weighed down over the forbidding December days of the last year !!
