A day in the life of Ritam Banerjee - Ritam Banerjee Photography | Fashion, Food, Advertising & Corporate Photographers in Mumbai, India
During the tenure of being a photographer for over a decade and a half now, I have had the fortune of meeting and interacting and experiencing different people, places and beyond, across continents.
It is this wonderful journey that has taught me to appreciate, enjoy and absorb the simple pleasures of life. My life is simple. It revolves around simple ideas and philosophies.
When I am not working I love to read, see, write, travel, listen, imbibe, blissfully take within all that life has to offer, through fiction and facts.
As a creator of art discovering the nuances in other forms of art, both visual and performing adds to the sensibilities. I seek inspiration in those who have stories that define impossible is nothing. I seek love and beauty in everything.
For me, to find a purpose for doing anything makes the doing meaningful, and the feeling matters even more.

I have been extremely blessed to have not only one but several mentors who have been kind enough to selflessly extend their guidance and support whenever I have had the fortune of interacting with them. One such legend has been none other than the dance maestro, Astad Deboo, with whom I have had the blessings of not only photographing but even collaborating on several projects across the globe.
He is 70 plus today and I saw him perform on stage for the first time when I was only about 5. It was way beyond me to even think of dreaming to work with him, but as luck would have it, not only did I get to work with him once, but got the opportunity several times over. It was during this time that I discovered the secret to his indomitable spirit to consistently create magic through his dance in over 70 odd countries over and over again. And the secret to this lies in his honestly towards his craft, his unmovable determination and focus and most importantly his rock-solid discipline without which no matter how much talent God would have been kind enough to gift you, it is impossible to keep oneself motivated to keep on aiming for higher and higher levels of excellence for over half a century.
Indeed, there isn’t any substitute to honestly and discipline, if one wishes to live his or her dreams forever.
Love 'em or hate 'em, the STL250 birthday cakes are officially the 2014 St. Louis Person of the Year.
The cakes inherit the title from St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha, who was voted 2013's person of the year in the annual poll posted by St. Louis mayor Francis Slay.
This year, the cakes took the cake against four other finalists: Rasheen Aldridge Jr., director of Young Activist United and a Ferguson Commission member; LGBT rights activist A.J. Bockelman; the contentious recorder of deeds-elect Sharon Carpenter; and Tricia Roland-Hamilton, director of Magdalene St. Louis, a home for victims of sex trafficking and abuse.
The cakes earned 38 percent of the vote, with Roland-Hamilton coming in second place with 22 percent, followed by Carpenter (18 percent), Aldridge (17 percent) and Bockelman (5 percent).
"The cakes had a large and engaged base -- and they ran a campaign with a strong field presence and a robust social-media component," says Richard Callow, a political and communications consultant for Mayor Slay. "I plan to keep an eye on them just in case marking popular locations isn't the limit of their ambition."
Slay's team originally nominated 25 prominent St. Louis people, businesses or concepts to be possible "people" of the year, and the top five finalists earned almost 70 percent of first-round voting. More than 10,700 people voted in the nominating poll and the final poll.
For many, the cakes became a reason to tour the St. Louis region and discover new historic or cultural sites.
"The project, as several voters mentioned in the comments section, inspired St. Louisans to get out and count our blessings," according to the announcement on the mayor's website.
Not everyone found the cakes to be so inspiring. St. Louis Egotist, a blog about advertising and marketing news, gave them a different title: Worst Creative Idea in St. Louis of 2014.
"Like leftover birthday cake that has grown stale and attracted flies, no one wants these eyesores to last any longer than they have to," St. Louis Egotist says about the cakes, also called them "brightly colored, ill-conceived turds."
St. Louis' year-long sestercentennial birthday party petered out by June, when the only remaining staff member stepped down into a volunteer role.
After an appearance on New Year's Eve at First Night in Grand Center, many of the cakes will be auctioned off to raise money to build Founders Plaza, a gathering place around the Market Street statue of Pierre Laclede.
