Don't have a great camera, but do have a passion for photography... and over the years have great pics taken...most people say I have the 'eye'... :) ... either ways, I love to shoot and off late have gotten pretty fascinated by people. A picture can tell a thousand words indeed. As I have been moving around the city for documenting the architecture and heritage buildings (part of the heritage walks that I conduct), I have been stunned by the emotions that fill me when I shoot a person or living thing...have still been unable to fathom it...

He waits,
he watches.
One day, some day...
these small dreams
will be real size too.
2.Light and it's shadow.

If everything lit always threw a shadow, wonder where does light hide it's shadow?
3. Time-bound
(c) D.Athale, 2007
Time stood mute testimony
As he scrubbed and laboured
And not a word was spoken,
when the sparkle was delivered.
4. Weather- beaten.
(c) D.Athale, 2007
Old arms, tired of supporting
Old joints, tired of holding
The weathered facade of mine
rests, along with those,
who pray ... in me.
5.Smoky Dreams
(c) D.Athale, 2007
One last puff
before I say 'done',
My eyes closed,
I sleep.
My hands and lips continue...
Allowing me to have smoky dreams.

Apoo's right..you're a good photographer as well as a poet.
