Ansel Adams in 1930 had been training to become a concert pianist while considering a career as a photographer. He decided, after seeing the photographs by Paul Strand, that "the camera, not the piano, would shape [his] destiny." His mother and aunt both pleaded, "Do not give up the piano! The camera cannot express the human soul!" To which Adams replied, "The camera cannot, but the photographer can."
Orson Welles had once famously said,"A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet".
The camera. A mere tool for some. An inseparable friend for most. A fiend for some. Life for a few.
Give a camera to a child and he will learn the ways of life through his glistening eyes and. Discovering the intricacies of the instrument and the simple charms of a photograph, he shall tread on the threshold of the various emotions humans are generally capable of (if not beyond). A blinding flash and the exciting and frenzied world captured into a static and relaxed stillness.
I, for one, am intimately related to my camera but there's more than what actually meets the eye. Something quite unexplainable.
So, I have decided to showcase some of my photographs through this blog just so that I can keep a tab of how life has progressed. I will freeze the world in ink. Hope to see you in it.
Cheers.:)
