Welcome to Giant Amoeba.
The site's nomenclature must have intrigued many of you. It is nothing but a childhood prank that I played on my schoolmates at the beach one day. As we were dipping our feet in the cold waters of the ocean, I suddenly jumped in a startle and yelled that I saw a giant amoeba touch my feet and recede back into the waters. That set a chain of panic reaction amongst my friends and they started to withdraw nervously from the shore's edge. Only that morning we were taught that these are single-celled organisms and are microscopic, therefore invisible to the naked eye not to mention that they are shapeless. For some reason, despite all these years, that particular prank about the giant amoeba have stayed in my memory and hence I chose that to be the name for my website.
My own photography, just as the shapeless amoeba, is flexible. I shoot landscapes just as passionately as I shoot cityscapes or Street Photography. As an ardent travel enthusiast, I try and document my various travels by way of Travel blog and therefore I am also a Travel Photographer. When not presented with adequate opportunities to travel, I am at ease shooting Macro photography in the garden. I also like shooting environmental portraits - read that as not enough space or gear to have my own studio.
Living in the UK surrounded by stunning landscapes and easy access to continental Europe my photographic passion has only gotten stronger with each passing day over the last ten years. Whenever I needed to get the stress out of my hectic work life I have always turned to photography.
Pursuing a full-time job and exploring photographic opportunities over the weekends - British weather permitting - is quite a challenge, but it has certainly brought a great sense of pleasure and satisfaction and a sense of purpose. I hope you enjoy the images as much as I have had when looking through the viewfinder when composing them. I intend to keep enriching this website with regular updates in the near future and I would love to hear your views and thoughts.
I plan to include photowalks and workshops as part of new offerings in the near future to get my local community interested and awaken their artistic side. I hope you will be there to support those endeavours.
