Who is behind DoubleConvex?

Hi! I’m Debashis. I’m an IT professional with a love for photography. I live  in Melbourne, Australia, and I, like so many others out there, love to take photographs.

I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II using a 17-40mm, and a 24-105mm lens.

My day job is that of an IT professional. It involves working with people all the time. I particularly love landscape and travel photography. It allows me the opportunity to leave it all behind, while collecting my thoughts, making a few memories, and allows me to share my experiences.

Here are a few things about me:

  1. I’ve moved continents 4 times – twice on my own as an adult.
  2. I love dogs! I don’t have any at this time, but would love to one day own a pair of short-haired Labradors.
  3. I play the piano.
  4. I cannot read music to save my life.
  5. I am hypersensitive to sounds and can hear higher frequencies than the normal individual.
  6. I can generally remember most of what I hear, but not everything that I see.
  7. I like odd numbers.
  8. I have all the respect in the world for parents who raise kids right and learn to let them go at the right time.
  9. I am uncomfortable crowds.
  10. If I’m quiet, I usually have a song in my head.
  11. I almost always have a song in my head.
  12. Movie scores are among my favourite songs to listen to.
  13. I have a very garbled accent that has bits and pieces from all over the English speaking world.
  14. I speak a few Indian languages fluently.
  15. When I was in undergraduate school, I couldn’t wait to leave India. Now, I enjoy going back as a tourist, and to visit my parents.
  16. My favourite colour has changed over time, from being blue when I was little, to grey when I was a teenager. It is currently red, and I’m assuming that it will last for about 10 years before I change my mind again.
  17. My favourite cuisine is home made Indian food.
  18. I believe that every human being should above all else, know and be able to cook, clean and balance their bank account.
  19. While I’m formally educated, I still believe that the best way to learn anything is to develop a love for it first.
  20. If I had to pick my favourite way to wind down, it would be by sitting on an Australian beach just after sunset on a clear warm evening where the breeze was light and watching the stars show up in the sky.
  21. My favourite place in the world to visit is the Arches National Park in Moab, Utah.
  22. I do not care for theme parks.
  23. I love national parks.
  24. The one thing in life that I would like more of, is time.
  25. I cannot multi-task.
