Life's Small Moments....
Sardar
Posted by Shiva (Kajang, Malaysia) on 13 February 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
I met this sardarJi who hails from Rajasthan in India. He and few friends went up to the temple to pray and then stumbled upon me, and with a nice smile and a happy mood, he asked me if I could take his "Foto".. I as.. okay bhai!
So , I asked for his email, and he looked at me and asked his friends what I just said.... and I said, ok nevermind.. and gave him my card so he could call me back to get his picture. I guess he lost that too....
Hi guys!, After contemplating for so long, I have finally decided to put out my images for sale in my own photo sales site. Please visit http://www.e-ttl.com to view the site and if you see anything you like, let me know. This is a " Truly Malaysian" site that sells images from Malaysia.
So, I officially pronounce my site open for sales!! Thousands of thanks to aminus3 members and web owners to be a good friend and a true compatriot in photography to all budding photographers to be able to display their works in a blog format for free. I truly salute the aminus3 team for being very kind and humane to all of us. I wish you all the greatest of success.
Thank you.

Fabulous Shiva.
What an amazing looking man. You captured much of his spirit too! I think the black and white really accentuates his incredible eyes. Congrats.

@Evi: Your husband has made a good effort in presenting his works... even my wife was impressed.. we used to have our own website too.. but time was too much of a crucial factor... so we had to let go.. and use aminus3 instead.. alot more easier...
Anyway, tell Nikolas... I am greatly touched by his works too!
;)
Evi from Athens, Greece
Thanks, Shiva!
You see, my husband's work is a web developer, so it was quite easy for him to do his own photo site. But not from the start, don't you think it so... He is working as a web developer for the last 5 years and now he's created his own.We are very glad you liked so much his work.
As you can see, he has your link in the "links" section. We will be very glad if we see you again and again. Some changes have been made if you click on the photos to leave your comments, we added some more, too.
See you soon, i hope!

Evi from Athens, Greece
We will expecting you with joy! Your comment on my husband's guestbook was one of the most touching ones i've ever seen.
We don't want to lose contact with you!

@Evi: ;) Greeks and Indians share the same philosophical spirituality, I remember reading Plato, heraclitus,chrysippus,anaroxipanes, xenopanes etc etc and especially the greatest man who ever walked the earth from Athens itself, Socrates...
I actually feel, I do have an obligation to visit greece, something spiritual to me and my soul. people have forgotten how great these philosophers are!
We must keep in touch. there is a lot to learn from each another ;) feel free to email me anytime! Everyone here said HIIIIIIIIIIII!!!! Preana Maria and Arwena Padme is having slight fever, but they will be ok.
You take care too! ( do you guys have any kids btw?)
Evi from Athens, Greece
Send my wishes for recovering to your daughter and wife.
Yes, we have one girl named Eleftheria, aged 8,5 years old and a little boy named Giorgos (George), aged - almost - 5!
Thanks for commenting, i find it very kind. There are some bloggers that i 've commented their work and not even said: "Thanks".
