Addressing the gathering Guruduth Kamath said photography is an art that gives maximum joy to the artist. “Photographs freeze extraordinary moments for eternity. They capture the unique perspective of the photographer. Mind, heart and eye, all these three are needed to be a good photographer. The heart sees, the mind tells and the eye constructs the frame. You can capture the decisive moment only when you listen to your inner voice,” he said.  
 
Bharatanatyam exponent Vani Rajagopal praised the devotion of young photographer Vivek Gowda to his art. Wilson Kateel described pictures as visual poetry. “The photographer sees the voice in the scene,” he said. Subhas Basu, the Convener of Mangaluru Chapter of INTACH introduced the aims and objectives of INTACH. Nikita G. Coutinho compered the programme.
