ENTRY DESCRIPTION
the photograph I have made when we trapped under heavy snow in a 15000 ft high Himalayan road, one of the highest road in the world. Between leh and manli town in north India, there is no one to help the travelers as the location 200 km from nearest locality or petrol pump , only one shelter was there , a roadside temporary fast-food dhaba ( restaurant) , the owner was a friendly Tibetan woman , whose family come to India as refugee from Tibet after Chinese occupation,
Next day morning we expect the weather will be clear, but unfortunately we trapped in the snow, the road was almost out of sight due to whole night snowfall
After waiting hours for help from BRO (border road organisation of India) people start clearing road as BRO was not able to come due to bad weather

I was born, grow and live in Kolkata, India, former capital of British India, which has strong and long cultural heritage,I start my photographic journey in very early age but only hold a slr in 2010, before that i mainly shoot with an old film camera, which help me a lot to understand the basic of photography, presently I am working in 35 mm film slr and in digital slr format. My main focus in photography to capture unusual landscape and portrait which can express the internal spirit of a subject in a single frame, I strongly believe “a photo without a story is like a body without a soul”. I am a self-taught photographer; I learn each and every single thing only by experimenting with my camera that gives me a lot of joy, also almost everyday, I spend sometime just by watching the works of the master photographers from all over the world, honestly I learn a lot just by watching and analysing the works of other photographers, As a photographer, I am always interested in black and white landscape and portrait photography; i travel a lot, and every time I travel only to see and capture the world around us, for me photography if freedom.
