Sirsendu Gayen

I am an Assistant Professor in Chemistry and a passionate amateur photographer from Kolkata, India. I love traveling in the interiors of my country and capture the spirit of my nation. Photography is my way of feeling, touching and sharing what I see. I love photography because this is the medium where I can express myself with freedom. I enjoy shooting many different subjects but with specific interest in travel, architecture and people.

Photoburst is a photo of the day contest focusing on Travel Photography.

Everyday (from the 1st until the 28th), among all images uploaded by our contributors, we publish a photo of the day (POTD).
Every week (on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th), among all POTDs of the preceding week, we select a photo of the week (POTW).
On the 30th we select the best POTW as photo of the month (POTM).

The author of the POTM receives:
a US$50 gift certificate to Kiva + (in even-numbered months only) an invitation to be Photoburst's guest editor in the following month!
