Ahmad Jaa
Ahmad Jaa had found the fun and enjoyment of photography just recently in 2011, even though he had started somewhere around 2008. Although his main interest is in geometry, he shoots whatever that attracts him and does not restrict himself to a certain genre. His journey in photography is more about discovering himself. And by understanding himself, he was able to express more freely and sincerely. Since then, photography had open up a new perspective in his life. As a self taught photographer, he is continuously trying to improve and learning the ways to become better and what’s more important is to have fun in photography.

The Path to Paradise, by Robin Vetrady
The photograph was taken on the way to Thajiwas Glacier, near Sonmarg, Kashmir, India in October 2009. The mountains had got the first snow showers of the winter a day ago and so it was a perfect day to visit the place.
