विश्व भोजपुरी सम्मेलन द्वारा आयोजित कार्यक्रम में छायाचित्र प्रदर्शनी का मावलंकर सभागार, नयी दिल्ली में आयोजन, जिसका उद्घाटन तत्कालीन राष्ट्रपति डा. शंकरदयाल शर्मा ने किया (1997)। साहित्य अकादेमी नयी दिल्ली के सभागार में डा. रामविलास शर्मा के चित्रों की प्रदर्शनी, जिसका उद्घाटन प्रसिद्ध साहित्यकार भीष्म साहनी ने किया। 2015 में वाराणसी में लगाई गई ‘परिंदों की उड़ान’ छायाचित्र प्रदर्शनी को भी बहुत सराहा गया। छायांकन प्रतियोगिताओं मे अनेक बार पुरस्कृत। कई महत्वपूर्ण साहित्यकारों पर आधारित वीडियो फिल्मों का निर्माण, इनमें डॉ रामविलास शर्मा और डॉ शिवप्रसाद सिंह पर बनाई गई वीडियो फिल्में विशेष चर्चित।

कृतियाँ: तीन कथा संग्रह, कविता संग्रह, यात्रा संस्मरण, धूमिल के लोग, प्रगतिशीलता के अग्रदूत-निराला, भ्रष्टाचार की शिकार हिंदी पत्रकारिता एवं कई आलोचनात्मक पुस्तकों का संपादन। ‘बालवाटिका’ के लिए निरंतर लेखन।
