Hey Friends there, I was thinking of becoming a little creative with the photos that I have been storing on my desktop. Have been capturing them from my sweet little friend - My DSLR. Some might be shot using a friend's camera. I am no big a photographer nor have I attended any school of photography. I like to click and I've doing that when time permits. These days clicking a perfect shot is not that a big deal when you have a wide variety of digital cameras open out there in the market, especially with an inviting price. So what I have planned to do with the photo collection ? For a trial, I am using one of the thousands of snaps to make this month's calendar. I'll be doing this every month on the first. Lets see how it goes... I am ready to hear your ideas and suggestions. [Click on the photo to see a larger version and you can use it as a desktop background.
