“Abhivyakti: Expression Through Photography”

--3rd Anniversary--

Friends,

...I feel delighted to share that our blog, “Abhivyakti: Expression through Photography”, has completed three years of its journey and is witnessing its 3rd anniversary. This blog was commenced in the year 2009, with the goal of imparting the knowledge of photography art among the art lovers through various sections, like LEARNING, GREAT MASTERS, PHOTO FEATURE, STORY BEHING THE PICTURE, PROFILE, YOUTH GALLERY, etc. Afterwards, ON PROJECT and DASHBOARD sections were also added to give expansion to our mission. Furthermore we tried to give important information of major events of photography through Abhivyakti.

The success of a blog depends entirely on the readers and followers. They work as the strength of any such platform. I cheerfully admit that a number of refined readers from India and abroad (Denmark, Chile-South America, Brazil, Turkey, Slovenia, UK, Germany etc.) have attached with our blog. Their precious alliance and unbiased suggestions have helped improving the quality of the contents. I’m thankful to all the readers and followers. I assure that I’ll always try my best for the advantage of art lovers in future through “Abhivyakti”.
Many of the readers and well wishers have sent their messages and wishes on the occasion of our blog’s 3^rd Anniversary. Please have a glimpse.

.--Dr. Pankaj Sharma.

“Abhivyakti: Expression through Photography” (pankajsharmaphotography.blogspot.com) completes three years of circulation in the internet in June, 2012. In this short time, it has made a nostalgic bond with thousands of enthusiasts, art lovers, established photo artists and amateurs from every nook and corner of the world. It is heartening to see that even school going children are following it intently and sharing their views with the blogger. The field is no more a men’s paradise; women have also made their presence felt.

Let me share with you a few facts about this blog. On an average 55 posts are blogged in a year, which are viewed by a staggering 14,163 persons around the world in more than 11 countries. Amongst the foreign countries, Slovenia, U.S. and Russia top the list of audience or viewers. There are 140 signed in members of this blog.

Hundreds of excellent images are shared in this blog last year. To name a few, I can recall the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival of China, Kambala Sports (Karnataka), Snow Fall in Shimla, Fishing in Goa, etc. In the learning section, photographing landscapes, shooting flowers in window light, etc., were highly appreciated by the audience. The blog is no more a space for entertainment; people have started citing it in their bio data and in the interviews as well. What else a blogger can vouch for?

I congratulate Dr. Pankaj Sharma on the “third (and counting) anniversary” of his blog and my best wishes.

I believe, Dr. Pankaj Sharma possesses a magic wand in his one hand, besides the camera in the other. He named it – Abhivyakti: Expression through Photography (http://www.pankajsharmaphotography.blogspot.in/) and waved his scepter over 170 photographers. Every week one budding photographer was introduced in the blog in an unprecedented manner. The way the photographer, along with his major photographs we reported for the last 03 years, is most commendable and ideal. The versatility of Dr. Sharma, being evident in his multi-dimensional blog, inspires me to initiate something in different lines. The achievements of the fellow photographers are also standing tall to motivate. The photographers of the country put their aplomb on major parts of the globe. The international awards to Indians in photography prove that India has emerged to be the new capital of shooting. Looking forward for the similar efforts from Dr. Pankaj Sharma. I further wish his endeavors of introducing new photographers through his blog be prosperous in the years to come.

Dear Dr. Sharma,

I am overjoyed to learn that your ever popular blog "Abhivyakti: Expression Through Photography" will soon be completing 3 years. As I have often stressed, during this period you have offered most invaluable, selfless and precious guidance to photo artists from all walks of life and of all levels - beginners, serious as well as advanced. You have also brought to fore some of the most talented but somehow hidden gems who would have still remained hidden but for your encouragement. I most heartily congratulate you on achieving this milestone and wish you all the success for your future journey. On this happy occasion I would also like to make a humble suggestion to publish in your blog a few examples of masterly work from stalwarts like M/s. E. Hanumanth Rao, Anil Risal Singh, Sudhir Saxena, S. Nagaraj, C. Rajgopal, Allama Prabhu, Bhupesh Little, O. P. Sharma, Amitabh Sil, Waman Thakre, Mitter Bedi, R. R. Bharadwaj, Benu Sen, Dr. G. Thomas to name just a few. Most of the present day generation of photographers may not have even heard of them. God no more makes photographers like them and I am sure the youngsters will benefit immensely by studying their work.
I am attaching a photograph I had shot in the US which I hope you will like.
