Not many of us would look at a pumpkin and be reminded of a hippo's ass or imagine a snake when we see a sweet potato. Probably that's why we're not all photographers.
Shutterbug Tuka Karve who is currently exhibiting his work along with other photographers at Tulika Art Gallery clearly believes in thinking out-of-the-box.
The frames which appear funny at the first look, actually have a deeperu00a0 meaning to them.
Tuka tells CS, "The images might appear funny but they are shot like this to attract the audience. The real message will unfold as they come and visit the exhibition. It's like packing the product before selling it.

The photographs talk about the health hazards that have recently surfaced because of the use of harmful chemicals that are used to speed the growth of vegetables."

A farmer at heart, Tuka adds, "In the rat race of earning more money, people poison fruits and vegetables, and make it look ripe and tasty.

But the truth is that the chemicals used in this process can not only affect the soil, but also poison and kill someone." Well if not the government, at least there are some people like Tuka who care!
