Frames captured through ‘My Bathroom Window’

That first experience made him try something new. “One day I took my dad’s camera to school without his permission to click pictures of my teachers. I would hide the camera and quickly click. Later,I put them on a chart paper for selling them to my classmates for Rs 1 or 2. Of course,only the pictures of popular teachers sold the most,” he laughs,as he shows pictures of his days in St Johns School,Sector 26,Chandigarh. This passion to ‘click’ has been carried on into Singh’s busy schedule now. “If you’re passionate about something,you automatically get time (for it),” says the energetic and jovial Singh,whose exhibition is by no means a mean feat.

The pictures in the exhibition were clicked by “balancing” the camera “on the window of my bathroom”.

“When I would get ready in the morning,I would keep an eye on the tree outside. On spotting any interesting bird,I would click with my telephoto lens camera,” he says about the photographs,earlier displayed at the lake.

Singh now wants to add movies to his repertoire. “Now I plan to make a movie of these birds. I just got a new digital camera. In my next show,I will have still photographs as well as movies. Apart from this,I have a tailor-made project in mind on the mayna bird and its chicks.”

This amateur photographer certainly has his basket full of eggs. We can’t wait for them to hatch.
