You and your Camera Mount Abu 6 June 15.

From Walker to One-Arm Bandit: A Photographic Journey Through Recovery

When mobility was a distant dream following my injury, I found peace and purpose in an unexpected partner - my Mac. As I overcame the difficulties of limited movement with a walker, I became known as "you and your Mac." I had no idea that this would be the start of a life-changing experience.
Obsession with the nuances of the Apple operating system became a daily practice for me. It was a comfortable distraction, a doorway into the world outside my immediate surroundings. I gradually let go of the walker and welcomed the freedom provided by a one-arm bandit, allowing me to explore the world with greater mobility.
As I went outside, my trusty camera became an extension of me. Hours passed into pure bliss as I studied nature and photographed the few lovely images my neighbourhood had to offer. I focused my camera on anything that flew, moved, or crawled, demonstrating my newfound respect for life's fleeting moments.
Today, I'd like to share with you some of the intriguing items that attracted my notice throughout our outdoor adventures. The camera became more than just a tool for me on my road to recovery and rekindling. I've ditched the moniker "you and your Mac" in favour of "you and your cameras."
Each camera click signifies a step ahead in my recovery process, a visual story of resolve and the quest for beauty in unexpected places. Life may have thrown me a curveball, but through my camera lens, I've learned to focus on the positives, converting obstacles into chances for development.
Join me on this photographic adventure, where the moniker "You and your cameras" has become a badge of honour. It's a testimonial to the flexibility that comes from adversity, as well as the capacity to discover beauty in the ordinary. Every image tells a narrative - a story of recovery, passion, and the unwavering spirit that pulls us ahead, one photograph at a time.






The Large-billed crows have made the tower in front of my house their haunt and attack any bird or animal that transgresses their domain. The only time they move out is when the Peregrine Falcon alights on the tower.

I guess a little bit of Luna does enter my upper attic, making me reach for my camera so that I'm compelled to snap the satellite of ours. Hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.
