i was thrilled too. actually, it reminds me - long back not only during my
school even during college days too i used to paint - and those concepts of
composition still stand valid in photography. in fact, i kind of moved to
photography on account of lack of time - couldn't find that much time to do
a painting - especially portraits. with camera, you can do a lot. and then
i somehow stuck with camera only. however, as i was reading your message,
it struck me again - light, composition, colors, contrast, all those things
we talk in photography - are basically inherited from painting.

Jon, I, too was taken by your day. Like Anand, I used to paint along with
the
study of Art History. The camera (Pentax) has given me the means to express
myself and retain the artistic side of my nature. The studies done in
college went a long way to train me about light, compostion, color, and
contrast, meaning that when I picked up a camera, I primarily needed to
learn the technique of using the camera as a tool, and didn't have the
complication of having to learn the artistic tools at the same time. I
congratulate you for spending the time with you aunt,learning what she had
to teach you.
