NJB'S PHOTOGRAPHY

In the world of art, abstract forms hold a special allure, offering a canvas for boundless imagination and creativity. For me, the desire to express myself through abstract art led to a unique exploration: macro photography of paint.

D ear friends I am extremely happy to welcome you all on my new website . I hope you all find it interesting & easy to surf through the images displayed. I was busy from almost month & half for putting it to work.  Though the interface provided by Zenfolio is easy & I don't have to go through any coding but I was having zero knowledge about getting a custom domain & a website.

That accident gifted me some sleepless nig...
