I don’t know exactly since
when I’ve nurtured this passion. Photography. To tell you, I just love taking
pictures of almost everything. One clarification here though; I’m not a certified
photographer. But hey, should one be certified to take pictures?
I don’t know.
Initially, I began taking
pictures of nature. Snow-capped mountain, cerulean skies, the sunset, rain,
prayer flags, leaves, trees, and flowers - so much more. Perhaps all the beginners
do start shooting nature. It could be, at least in my case.
I found divinity and beauty
in nature, and felt feelings, warmth and hope. So I intended to capture and relive
these things on my lens as briefly as possible.
Sometimes I would look at
my own pictures and like anyone of you, I marvel at it. And to my own
amazement, I stand in disbelief. Because some of my pictures seem unreal to me;
it’s as though I had made it up.
However, photography and
writing really complement each other. The digital lens does write stories,
photographs do tell stories – sometimes better than my handful of words. So incapable
of writing forward, for my blog, I look at my pictures and do I derive
inspiration, get stories.
Quite wondrously, it is through
my digital lens that I started to see the world around me differently. And
ultimately I became a nature lover. Most importantly, it helped me to learn to
find beauty and pleasure in the simple things. It changed my life’s outlook,
for better.
Someone rightly stated
about the photography and our life,
The greatest of
inspiration, isn’t it?
I can add here a few lines,
but my own lines. You can, in life, fork out your problems like the way you
crop out the unwanted parts of images. And if you want to make your life more
attractive, learn to apply effects to images of your life. Whew, it’s that simple!
As I’m still learning to
take good pictures, so do I still learning to understand the life’s essence.
