Immagine 7. Photography is an expensive art form and you never do it commercially. You undertake extensive traveling in addition to many social initiatives. How do you manage time and funding for all these? GMB AKASH: Want to live another day just to store those emotions in my camera, to discover how precious each tiny second’s breathe is. Expect neither shine nor glitter. I take assignments to feed my travel -holic soul. Photography itself is very expensive. You need money for your equipment, for maintenance and to continue to move. If anybody thinks taking short cuts by way of competition will take him/her to fame and name then I would like to request them to take a leave. For me photography is like a religion. I can fast to save for my photo tour, to do another discovery. The way a priest engages to serve God, the way a mother cares for a child it is the same. If you started excepting money you are ruining yourself. Money and name will come at its own. Photography takes me to so many places, allows me to encounter so many events that I understood the meaning of life. Luxury is not my cup of tea. I feel truly uncomfortable to eat in expensive places. I am very easy with the people I work. Simplicity is my mantra and sharing my food is my way of caring. So I actually I do not need much money for my own and I am more than thankful for what I have.
