Apnu Ahmedabad: Yash "Shutterbug" Pandya

His tall lanky frame, innocent look, chrome polished Enfield Bullet and casual dressing style makes him look like the quintessential collegiate. And thats exactly what he is! Doing his MBA - FBM from Institute of Management, Nirma University, Yash faces life just like any other 20 year old ahmedabadi; hanging out with friends, cracking jokes, bunking a few classes, humming songs and in general living it up.

But once he feels the smooth curves of her body in his palms, and the light weight of her taught straps on his young shoulders, he transforms into her lover. She is his everfaithful DSLR (What were you thinking?!). You come across so many naturals (singers, dancers, painters, writers) and you envy the gift God has given them.

But just being gifted is not enough. One has to work very hard towards polishing that gift into something that he is then able to gift to the entire society. Yash is a totally self taught photographer who through the thousands of hours dedicated to his craft has clicked some amazing photographs.

Now, many many of us have digicams and DSLR cameras. How many of us actually know all the functions? Even if we know about some of them, how many of us actually use them? Mr. Yash Pandya has kindly consented to teach digital photography to all apnuahmedabadis in whatever spare time he is able to squeeze out of his demanding curriculum.

It is wisely said – A person is neither whole nor healthy without the memories of a photo album.

Now, since this blog is all about Ahmedabad and not so ordinary ahmedabadis, I leave you to marvel on some works of Yash Pandya!
