Light through glass

Or even better the art of recording light in the way that we see it. Photography.

I have always been fascinated by the fact that time passes by and together with it so does our life, our experiences of joy and sadness.But then on the other hand it takes some little thing to trigger our memories and bring us back to the past, flashes from our history. History which might have been very insignificant at the moment but when contemplated upon some time after, may uncover to us why we are what we are and who we are.

And that what brougt me to photography, an aid to my faulty memory.
And it is an art, because as a painting captures and conveys back to the viewer the artist's feelings that did stimulate him in his composition, so does a photo which has been methodically captured. It's the colours, or the lack of them, the light being radiated out of the photo, the composition that is aimed towards the unconscious eye, this is what makes a photo. Its not the different cameras, the megapixels, full frame or not, all these things are usless if some one does not know how to express himself through the language of photography.

It is all about stopping power, our eyes are subjected to an uncountable number of images every day, but what is it that makes us stop on one image more than another? What is it that makes us get intrigued by a picture causing us to stop and give attention to it, holding us there in front of it with our minds traveling through the representations on it? Are all our minds triggered by the same composition? Does it have to do with our past?

Well that is an endevour that I am about to undergo with this blog. I want to see what stimulates you, the viewer, and I need you to convey back to me what you feel when you see my images.

Feel free to comment and post back to me.
