Allegories of my life

"Early morning dawdle proceeding the preschool up the hill. A sudden breeze of winter tide made her stand still. Hefty tot tried, couldn't hike much with warm draperies, having wellingtons worn. So was dragged by daddy with a clasp of hands, she pulls her bag of bones backward, couldn't take the weight on. Fails to remember the faces and surroundings, she must have attained zilch from the lessons taught.   Finishing school was a great task to achieve, acutely blissful she must have got. Collecting chestnuts dropped from the trees thinking nuts were bird's eggs, was her belief. Sweet-corn was a popular choice, much easier was hiking through the down slopes of height, what a relief! " Strolling on The Mall, suddenly road ended for me as I bumped into the front gate of my pre-nursery School- Chalet Day.

We get to see a numerous expressions but taking an aspect of innocence is the most alluring moment particularly when it comes to kids. They literally don’t understand the apprehension behind us being on the shooting mode. They are themselves and at their best with no artificiality which we generally may observe while taking other portraits of people.   Kids can pout, sneer or can be annoying at times but they are adorably one of a kind and the expressions are strikingly well. They are full of innocence, as it’s a blessing in itself. As rightly said by a dear friend, when kids mature they develop complex emotions.

When nature speaks of the true colors and shows us some mesmerizing actions then to click that superlative frame, being an amateur is like barking up the wrong tree again and again for me. Macro shooting is the genre which I enjoy the most especially with tiny creatures of our assembled fauna.   The colors, the forms and the activities are astonishing to capture as one gets to behold the real charm of nature.   A picture paints a thousand words and colors speak it all, here is an epitome of the written description. This Caterpillar made me dance to take the still shot of it.  Candid Caterpillar

Photography is capturing what you see around, framing a snapshot and then finally to depict a story out of it but sketching is when you have a story in your mind you tend to show it on a canvas succeeding in making a frame of your real imagination and what you feel inside. It’s an art where you can relatively showcase unrealistic things running inside you. But both are pieces of art and I admire both, sketching being my old passion. To bring out the thoughts on a blank sheet with charcoal in your hand is not only an achievement but how you bring about a masterpiece of your imagination, that belongs to only you and YOU are it's “TRUE CREATOR”.   Now I have a question - "What is this girl upto?"

I met him during one of the photo-walks I did last week. The moment he saw me and my friend approaching abruptly he came to us with a bunch of pens in his hand to sell. The guy was way too notorious and gave poses to my shutter, totally forgot to sell pens instead got himself clicked in every possible perspective he could imagine of course with his whole gang of friends along and after his session got performed, he asked me “Where will you show these pictures?”   I was numb to his question at that time but now I am thinking I wish I could show him where I showed his pictures…

Some of the macro shots are extremely discordant at the same time, appealing. Each shot showcases the real experience of the being which is captured. This moment of capturing these beings will live forever as it marks a symbolic aspect of life which I had lived with them. In this frame, two ants are found mourning on the loss of their family member or perhaps a friend. When I took this frame I dint know what particularly was happening in between the two, I couldn’t figure out the condition of that very moment but soon after I zoomed in through knob to see I comprehended the truth very next second. If aimed accurately, one can possibly notice three heads and two bodies. I hope I am able to demonstrate what I wanted to show through this draft. So macro shooting for me is always entertaining in comparability with the other genre of photography.   Happy snapping !

During my trip to hills I not only found candid and panoramic shots but also discovered the beauty that lies within the nature of the mountains and its flora which is the most integral part and helps in making the location mindboggling with the elements of flora around me I felt contented and I started taking frames of almost everything I could spot in front of me. One frame that I detected was like a fantasy may be because I had not gone too close to nature in recent past and I encountered this bee which was inside the rose and playing with its stigma. It was so fascinating to watch this tiny creature playing and hunting nectar inside the flower. This has a lot of resemblance to life and is very lively, which makes this frame alive.                                        ...
