Goa, The land of Sun, Sea & Sand!


We associate Goa with Beaches, Churches, Temples, Monuments and heritage sites. This is only a part of Goa, its real essence lies in its people. The 1000 portrait project is an attempt to capture & showcase the 1000 unique smiling people of Goa.


After organizing and managing 1000 portraits project hyderabad with my team we got very positive spirit and want to take this project to the national level ...making India Smile. As part of this we have executed in Goa with associating with local goa photographers.


This project is about 10 Hours – 10 Teams – 10 Locations with cameras in Goa and 1000 portraits at the end of the day.

IS CAMERAS NOT DESIGNED FOR LEFT HANDERS? HOW A LEFT HANDER WILL USE?

BAD DESIGN CONTEST, MY SUBMISSION #1 for UMO 2009
IS CAMERAS NOT DESIGNED FOR LEFT HANDERS? HOW A LEFT HANDER WILL USE?

Cameras are designed for the right hander and the click will be in the right and the camera to be holed by the right hand. Cameras predominantly have the hand grip, shutter release, film wind lever and commonly used selection buttons, switches and dials controlled by the right hand, lens controls (where present) tend to be accessible by either hand. When a left-handed person uses a right-handed camera the hand control can be less steady and hence produce camera shake leading to poorer pictures at low shutter speeds.

When cameras were predominantly mechanical or later electro mechanical, it would be difficult and hence expensive to produce a left-handed version of a right-handed camera. Video-cameras also tend to have the hand strap on the right side of the camera. Thus the camera must be held using the right hand, which often leads to a shakeier video being captured.
