Photography - My sister gifted me a Minolta point-and-shoot camera and since then I am realy doing that - pointing-and shooting! I have a very large collection of photographs taken by me. They are not all very great, but once in a while I get some good photos. Now I have Canon EOS 350D SLR camera with 18-55 IS lens, Canon 80-200 lens and 100/2.8 USM macro lens. The 18-55 IS lens which I bought recently is great - I can get acceptable quality shots at 1 second handheld exposure! My photographic work is published in many magazines - Better Photography, Times Journal of Photography, UK's DSLR photo, Asian Photography. Also - I got few photo features published in Marathi weekly Lokaprabha. My photo work site is at http://www.photo.net/photos/suhaskulkarni

Marathi Literature - I had written many short stories and they are published in Marathi periodicals like - Swarajya, Sahyadri, Kirloskar, Bua, Prapanch, Saptahik Sakal, Lokasatta , Maharashtra Times , Jatra and so on I have done a lot of reading in my college days - particularly P. L. Deshpande, Ramesh Mantri , Mirasdar , G. A. Kulkarni , R. G. Gadkari, Atre , Kolhatkar , Balkavi , Tambe , and so on.. Sometimes read 'Pipat mele Olya undir' and something like that, including criticism on it!.

Marathi plays are very good TP. I liked plays of Laksmikant Berde. I enjoyed Shantecha Karte, Bighadle swargache dwar. I also liked Soujanyachi aishi taisi - total dhamal.
