Many years back, owning a camera was a luxury. So, Picture Studios were in vogue. People who wanted pictures for memories used to go there to be 'shot'. So, our family used to go to this studio that has been in existence for more than 50 years. I took this picture Saturday. This is still functioning. The same owner - now his son. They patronized the Mysore Kings. You can see a big picture in the Showcase on the right. All furniture inside was old, but they had now a computer! The studio goes by the name "Raj and Brothers". Raj is the name of the person. I presume that since Raj means King, it is that.

So when I was a boy, I used to be taken there. My mother was for many years fascinated because one of my pictures was on display in this studio! I'm posting a few of them from my album. Please forgive me if the focus is not proper as I have taken them using my digital camera. This was before my FIRST haircut.
