I worked as a pediatric surgeon in a remote rural mission hospital in Assam, northeast India for nearly 30 years and am presently working in the Missions Department of the Christian Medical College at Vellore in Tamil Nadu. I am very interested in observing, photographing wildlife and documenting biodiversity. I am currently using a Nikon D800 as well as Nikon D500 and Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E VR as well as Micro-Nikkor f/2.8 VR 105mm lenses. I have written about my biodiversity work here: https://the-sparrowsnest.net/2020/04/29/all-things-bright-and-beautiful/
