Drawing with Light

Hi! My name is Mano and I am an amateur photographer. Besides the many other things in life that occupies my time, these last two years I have been drawn towards drawing, that is with light. I love taking pictures as it freezes a moment in the space time continuum. It is subjective, open to interpretation, it captures the very essence of life, the unspoken words.

I’ve never been to a photography class; books, websites and chris orwig have been my mentors. I don’t have a degree in art, in fact I failed many of them during my school days. But I believe there’s a little bit of art in all of us. Enjoy the pictures that are included in this site as I undertake the journey of growth and fascination; in drawing with light.

Hi! I’m kicking off my photoblog with my first post for the new year. I thought I start off with this picture of me reflected in a mirror with some my padawan’s at the Shanghai Expo. I took some kids to an academic competition over there and at the same time got to shoot a lot of pictures at the expo. It was challenging with lots of people all over the place. Getting the right frame wasn’t easy at all. But off we went giving our best. I like this particular shot as it reminds me while being at the expo, how diverse the world is, and there more than enough for every photographer in the world, be it professional or amateurs. Well, more to come from my Shanghai trip in my upcoming posts. Happy New Year everyone!
