About Rajan Desai

I got interested in photography when my uncle presented me with a simple point-and-shoot camera when I was just 15 years old. I have dabbled into landscape and travel photography since then. But I became serious about photography when I read the book Photography for the Joy of It by Freeman Patterson and then had a chance to meet him in person.

When my daughter was two years old, we put up a bird feeder in our backyard, which got me interested in birds and bird photography. Wildlife, especially birds, fascinate me. I completed Mass Audubon’s β€œBirder’s Certificate Program” to learn about birds, their habitat, migration patterns and more.
