Why Photography ?

I know it's a  photography blog ,though it is a blog and i wanted to write what photography has meant to me ,Until i was 9 ,taking pictures was only when mum and I went on a vacation ,only then i was allowed to touch the camera .Anything in way was a still photograph ,a car ,a pencil a dustbin ,yellow ,green,black.No-matter what it had to be a photograph ,i mean i passed through it ! through the years its become a passion ,a hobby .Photographs are memories ,each photograph i take is a small part of my like whether it is a fence or a cup of coffee .

The "art" of  photography is SEEING .

"What window do you see me through? Through the window you were told to look through?"

" I 've searched  the world ,but next to you i feel beautiful " 

Do you remember me.... ?

"Desiring this man's art and that man's scope

With what I most enjoy contented least"

When I am dead, my dearest, don’t stick my bones
together with Scotch tape. Do not try to fit them
underneath a frame. Use them, one by one,
as a weapon, a gavel. My bones,
they can be good back scratchers, honey mixers,
and hands of clocks.

You can toss them across space
and see how far they’ll glide until another hand
slips across it. When I am dead, dearest,
thread my bones to the top of a mountain.

The next time you arrive at a glass sea,
spill it boldly. Spell your life in two parts,
watch them float until they descend
like a weight down into that container

"It seems they were all cheated of some marvelous experience
which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I am telling you about it"

—Frank O'Hara

"It holds my true life 

 and will outlive me. 

 It will live forever."

And When I Lay Myself to Sleep 

 I Pray To God My Soul To Keep 

And If I Die Before I Awake 

I Pray To God My Soul To Take

"Author of the moment ..

Can you tell me ?

Do I end up happy?.."

                                              

"A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament"
