Guns' Home
I'm P R Ganapathy, a.k.a "Guns", and this is my home-page. I hope you enjoy your visit.
That's me and my lovely wife, Sandhya
When organizing this site, I went through a period of intense agonizing. Should I organize the photographs here by category - Birds of various types, Sceneries, People, Flowers, etc. or should I tell each photographic incident in its intimate detail? For someone searching for a good photograph to use - be it a view of San Francisco, and sharp detail of an Immature Brown Pelican or a beautiful Chrysanthemum, that would be the most efficient way.

However, I would have lost the opportunity to tell the tale behind each photograph. Quality bird photography requires an intense amount of patience and an infinite amount of luck. Many hours spent in a cramped blind would result in a few brief minutes of opportunity. The ouput of those many hours of waiting and a few score frames exposed during that brief window of opportunity is the final one or two frames that are worthy of scanning and presenting on this website. Of course the adrenalin rush from seeing a Golden Eagle alight on a snag that one has been staking, or of a Yellow Billed Magpie chirping only a few feet away, oblivious of the photographer sitting in the blind... that tale had to be told.

I have therefore organized this as two "tour routes" - the first is the systematic, the rational, the second is the event driven, with extensive narrative on the background behind each photograph. I hope you enjoy your visit, and leave me your comments.

Tour Route # 1 - Logically Organized

Tour Route # 2 - Organized by Photography event.
