The scene of a man standing on the Kodanadu View Point, South India against the layers of clouds watching the sunrise leaves a deep impression in my heart. With the chilling wind blowing strongly at such high attitudes, I quickly composed my shot and fired a few shots.
Our minds can only archive visual images of what we have seen temporarily. As this is not permanent, our memory often fails us as time passes by. As an artist, I am able to capture and store the visual images permanently. Nothing can be more important than the stability of a memory card to record visual images. The fast writing speed of the Kingston CF card allows me to capture wildlife in action through a continuous burst of 9 frames per second. On the top of that, with Easy Recovery Professional software from Kingston, I always have the peace of mind knowing that all my images can be recovered should any of my files be accidentally corrupted or deleted. Memory stores the record of experience. Not everyone is able to explore wildlife in National Parks or trek through primary rainforests. Sitting in a landrover for at least 8 hours going through undulating terrains is certainly a rough experience. The unending wait for a leopard to appear at the pool of water in Yala National Park is a test of patience. At the end of the day, I hope that all the images that I capture can bring my viewers to the visual experience of being at the places that I have explored.
M e m o r i e s Every picture in here tells a story. I hope that these images will trigger your memories. You can then make use of the blank pages in this book to write down some of your own life stories. Make this book your own. Keep it as a journal of memories. Life loses its meaning if we let our happy occasions and fond memories fade away. Do you remember when was the last time your good friend hugged you? Your loved one kissed you? Or who you could call for help at 3:00 in the morning? Many of these pictures are captured by chance and have personally touched my life. I believed they will also touch yours. Life is short, but memories make a great impact.
Start your journey today and archive all your precious moments the right way.

Many people shudder at the thought of rain on a travel trip. For me, bad weather equates to great opportunities to capture unique composition and imagery. Shooting in continuous downpour for more than 4 hours is common during my journeys. Often, I am in a position when it is not advisable to change CF cards. Hence, I really appreciate Kingston 8GB CF Card to ease these situations. Never do I need to worry about running out of memory space in such adverse conditions.

Once I returned to my hotel, I downloaded the images from my Kingston CF card to my laptop. A closer look at these shots show the layers of clouds flowing fluidly like gentle water flowing in a stream. Instantly, I felt that I have visited heaven. Without a reliable and fast memory card, I could never have the assurance that all the images could be captured and recorded completely.
