As I see it a proper introduction of myself would not take more than a mere sentence : "An ardent and eternal student of the communication arts". My perceptions apart, the society has seen me growing to become a self made advertising professional over the last ten years. And recognition's, if I may politely add, have poured in terms of several challenging assignments for corporate, industrial and advertising photography.
Often, what separates an artist from the rest is the capacity to turn problems into
challenges and confinements into rare opportunity to break loose. And in my case, much as
others would want to believe it, an unfortunate road accident totally paralysed my left
arm at the age of nine. Looking back, I would prefer to call it a blessing in disguise.
Because, today there virtually is no job in my profession I can't handle single-handed.
Will power, certainly can be a substitute to any handicap. Today, I stand at a cliff which until yesterday seemed difficult to surmount, only to see many more I can scale before I leave. And that, is the one and only reason I want to take up a formal course at the Columbia College - Hollywood. Needless to say, it would throw me in the midst of several stalwarts in the profession, who have scaled many such cliffs. I am sure I have heights to reach and this course will have an instrumental role to play, in my life.
