I travel. I write. I write to be able to travel. And I travel to write. In the realm of photography, I am a diarist (I stick to my trusty Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ28 and have eternally cold feet about investing in an SLR). I rely on the trick of the light, unlike talented photographers who know how to trick the light into producing results.
I write this blog because I believe in the future of the earth, optimistically, despite the threats of climate change, environmental degradation, extinction of wildlife, dwindling water supplies, pollution, etc. Sometimes I wonder what there is to be optimistic about because, as a conservationist friend says, we are fighting a losing battle that we have to fight anyway (sort of like the Spartans in 300).
This apart, I am a journalist, writer and cartoonist. Some of my work is archived at bijoyvenugopal.com
