Its not just a camera n pictures, Its a passion

Photography has really taken me into it. I can actually say I've found my art, not because I'm d best there is, which am not, but because I enjoy doing it so much. Its in my heart, I've found a way to express myself. To make everybody see what i see. Its not tht u always get the perfect picture its really tough doing tht, but wen u knw what you're gonna capture eventually u get it. Practice is the key. Practice n patience.

To remember why I started taking pictures, I'll hve to go bck t the time when i was shy even to come infront of the camera. Its a silly stupid thing but I had been ordered by my gf(X) to send her some pictures n so i put on my best black shirt n gelled up my hair real good. When time came to shoot i started shying away. I called her up she said she'z gonna like it anyhow, nomatter how bad it is. I got CUTE n finally decided to do it. I remember, a lot of time has passed n many better photos taken, but i'll always remember tht 1. For the first time in life i liked myself in a pic. Well tht was the start of it. A lot happened n i kept getting more involved with the camera.

The next phase came when my friends(impressed with tht gr8 shot of me) wanted me to tke pics 2. They liked theirs n I wanted to take more pics to see how gr8 it can look. This went on for a while till I met *Special mention of the asshole here* Ranvir Deb. A gr8 frnd who also shared the same passion. I was impressed n inspired by tht guy, man he's good. We had lotsa adventures 2gether, it were fun. Criticising each other we grew.

Now its been almost a year n half. In a bad incident I lost all my data along with all my pictures tht I had shot since the start. But now tht i look bck i know why it was so good, n why i loved it so much. It was not because I looked good in them. I now realise what the call "Seizing the moment". Well Its my way of seizing the moment. Everyday in life we see these beautiful things around us and we wish tht we could keep looking at them forever. I think thats why i always want to hold the camera in my hands, because u never know when you're gonna meet something amazingly beautiful and if you have I can bet tht you always sad when it was gone.

Why do we have to let go?? I believe if we love something, we should never let go and hold on to them forever. Maybe not in person, but why not in pictures. N I dont mean taking a posed photograph. I'd say my pictures always show things the way I see thm, atleast I always try to. Everytime I see an old picture of mine it always refreshes my memory. Reminds me of how it felt.
..how it felt to stand in the middle of a small lake n trying to shoot this beautiful big eagle floating above me...
...how it felt to stand n gaze at the beautiful sunset on top of a hill...
...how it felt to be on the road at 1 am in the morning, with deserted roads, chilly winds n the sound of the night..

I think there'z so much beauty all around us tht we should not let any of it go. I've found my art n it makes me happy. Not because people praise me, but because everytime i see something beautiful i know how to hold on to it forever..;)
