later completed a diploma in photography from India. My passion for photography started when I was in my 10th grade in school. I was also very interested in art. I took up art seri- ously, thanks to encouragement from my parents and teachers at the Ideal Indian School,” he says. His first photographs were clicked using a Yashica Microtec zoom 90 film camera, which was a basic point- and-shoot camera that his father had purchased. ‘‘Our family had the opportunity to visit Delhi and Agra where I shot about 18 rolls of film. I still remember some of the images, and have fond memories.’’ Abdulla purchased his first DSLR camera, a Nikon D70s with 18-70mm kit lens. He made the decision after comparing various Nikon and Canon models in the market. The camera had just 6 megapixels. One of the images taken with that camera won him an award at a contest organised by the Ministry of Environment. Soon his work began to get recogni- tion, and he began to take up commercial assignments. His first assignment was at a local wedding and ever since he has been taking up various projects and tries not to stick to any one type of Salim Abdulla photography. ‘‘Practice and expose yourself to ABDULLA’S TOP TIPS all types of photography.

NYT SYNDICATE

HE development of self-driving cars in recent years has been primarily a competition between technology companies and auto-makers work- Ting independently of each other. But that dynamic changed markedly when Google said it would expand its testing of autonomous vehicles by installing its technology in a fleet of minivans made by Fiat Chrysler. The deal is the most prominent example yet of a Silicon Valley company collaborating with a traditional automak- er on self-driving vehicles. It could also prove to be a breakthrough in the generally wary relationship between technology and auto companies, and prompt more collaborative efforts. The deal is a major departure for Google, which previously had chosen to work mostly on its own in creating and testing self-driving vehicles. For Fiat Chrysler, the arrangement allows the company to gain access to Google’s expertise in driverless cars Chrysler unveils its Pacifica minivan at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, January 11, 2016. rather than develop its own technology.
