Throughout this photographic odyssey, my family has been indispensable. My wife, Bindu, and our sons, Vajraang and Eknath, have accompanied me on most of these adventures, providing unwa- vering support and encouragement. Their patience and love have fueled my artistic growth, en- abling me to create compelling images that reflect not only the beauty of nature but also the pre- cious moments we've shared.

This book chronicles my travels to various locations, showcasing how my photography style has evolved. From initial documentary-style images, I've progressed to capturing the essence and beauty of each wildlife encounter. These photographs are interwoven with cherished family memo- ries - Bindu joining me on safaris and spending hours waiting for something to happen, Vajraang driving me through Florida’s panhandle in his new sports car, and Eknath accompanying me on multiple birding trips and safaris and joining me with camera.
