Posted by Vishnu Dattan (2001 ISC) works at Infosys Technologies in Singapore, and is known to most Loyolites as a former School Leader, Best Loyolite, keyboardist or office-bearer of LOBA.
But some of us know him also as a photo enthusiast. His photoblog, begun this year, gathers many comments every time he posts, and last week Vishnu won a prize in a photography competition organised by UBS in Singapore.
A few months ago, Vishnu agreed to our request: a series of photos on Loyola’s flowers. In this guest post, he lets his photography evoke memories of the Loyola garden. – Ashok

Am a photography enthusiast myself. But don’t have a good cam at the moment.
one of dattettans classmates, vivek chacko, is teaching me at my college. He’s into this too.Saw his album on orkut. Is simply stupendous.
really nice photos’,chetta… great work vishnu chetta…
Thank you Vishnu. The photo on the blog was taken at Pierce Reservoir, Singapore.
Thanks for the comments, Arun, Syam and Ajith.
All credit to Ashok for the concept.
Datta…
Great job man… and it is even more stunning that this is not taken in any SLR! Its all about getting the right angle and having a creative mind… keep it going… waiting to see u upgrade to an SLR…
Lovely captures. I really like seeing freshness on those flowers.
beautiful photos vishnu. thanks ashok for coming up with this brainwave. its a pity that today the trees and plants and flowers have taken a backseat and we alumni have to despair at the concrete jungle that loyola is today. 🙁
Jiby, when I went with Asif Kalam and Vishnu Dattan for taking pics, I felt that the campus is more colouful now, with various kinds of flowers. The man-made garden is bigger than in the past, but the natural greenery appears to have dwindled.
I request campus enthusiasts to post ideas here for future photo features on this blog.
