Why so shy?

Cyanotypes in process  

A climb, a passage, A walk and a trek. Choices, a journey And only blissful times ahead. A heart that beats for such Moments in a lifetime Never knows of forlorn feelings That yearn attachment of mankind.

Silent Vexation

A still from my 3 part series of Mathilda from Leon: The Professional.  

There might be days for many when simple scenic views become more common to be seen on television rather than in reality. But as my mother sat staring out the wide window in our living room, I couldn’t help but think of the luscious green fields outside the window of our suburban home and the setting sun to be a source of entertainment and relaxation for her. You see, we have had no television since about 8 years now and hence find our entertainment in the simpler things that we are surrounded by. Long walks around the green pastures across our house and gazing up at stars on no-Moon days are the most common ones. Grateful for the choices my parents made of living amongst such greenery, I hope for many to get closer to nature in their own little ways.

A series of photos that I had taken on Manual focus from my Nikon 3200 to practice portrait photography from my 50mm 1.8d prime lens. Despite the ever-changing evening light, I had a great experience with this shoot. This impromptu photo session was a practice session for me but by the end of it, I looked at portrait photography in a completely new light. I could genuinely say that I could see myself grasping control of the manual focus and the aperture as the evening went by. In the process of this unplanned event unfolding, I simply fell in love with portrait photography.
