On a day trip to Lal Bagh Gardens in Bengaluru, India, I happened to notice a couple of fishermen fishing in the calm and serene lake which is situated there. Fishing is not easy as it requires patience. I had utmost respect for these two fishermen who spent several hours slowly floating across the waters and caught many fishes as they could. The fishes caught are either for food for the fishermen’s families or they are sold at the local market. We all can learn and relate how these fishermen go about and conduct their business, that is, it requires patience and dedications to achieve a goal or target.

Photo of the Day Award Category: Black & White Photography
Photograph Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka | India

Photographer: Masrur Ashraf (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia) Registered
An Indian national, Masrur Ashraf was born on the 12th June, 1982, in the eastern city of Saudi Arabia – Dhahran. He has earned two masters degrees in Telecommunication Systems and Management & Marketing from DePaul University in USA and KFUPM in Saudi Arabia respectively. He is currently working as an Investment Promotion Coordinator in a semi-governmental institution. Masrur’s photographic journey started at an early age when he picked up his father’s vintage Canon AE-1 SLR camera and set out take numerous family pictures. Since then, Masrur’s photographic journey grew longer as he expanded his focus to other types of photography such as landscape, rural life and travel. He also went a step ahead by purchasing the Canon EOS 7D camera and using it to hone his photographic skills. Masrur is extremely passionate about rural/countryside photography. Being from a village in the Indian state of West Bengal, he is blessed to have the opportunities to take numerous pictures of the beautiful landscape, the people and, most importantly, the life a countryside offers. His aim is to show the humbling beauty of an indian village to people around the world. Photography is more than a hobby to Masrur. It does not cease to amaze him about the richness and dynamism of photography especially the fact that a picture can convey a message or many messages depending a person’s perspectives. As the saying goes: a picture is worth a thousand words. To Masrur, that’s an understatement.
