The Road Ahead...

In this photo, I feel that the road ahead is symbolic of a clear path to the future, with arrows guiding the way.  It's almost beckoning one to start his/her journey on it.  And, it would be as if one is walking into the sunset.  By the way the sun is setting, it seems as if it is taking in its last glimpse, its last goodbye.  The road back seems to be clogged with traffic.  It's almost an indication that to go back will take too long and there simply is no point for a return.  I happened to accidentally capture this photo when I was touring Israel last month and it's simply my favorite picture from the entire trip!

The Art of Telling

I have something to say.  It's not something worth saying, though.  It's important.  It may be detrimental.  But it doesn't sound pretty.  I guess I fear the reaction.  Possibly I will be faced with hearing the consequences.  But in any case, I have something to say that is not really worth saying.  The art of telling is hard to muster.  If one wants it to be a smooth wave, then one must craft what he has to say in such a way, that no one will notice, simply because it just slipped in.

My Story

I love love; I love thinking about it, reading about it, and capturing it, but I feel there are so many emotions intertwined in this grand feeling that so much is required to produce it.  I love motion.  I hate idleness.  I love surprises.  I hate expectations.  I love dimples.  I hate frowns.  I love fire.  I hate ice.   I love whatever is associated with love, for I feel it brings the animal out from within.  People are beautiful creatures that are capable of so much expression that I want to capture as much of it as possible. 

I developed this passion for love after reading a few of Francoise Sagan’s novels.  They embedded the lunacy and instability of love.  With characters ranging in personalities from the innocent artist, to the spontaneous teenage girl, to the begrudging aging actress, Sagan was able to capture personalities in love in her strong medium of writing.  I hope to do the same in film.

I not only want to capture personalities in love, but I want to capture personalities in general.  My ideal tool is a camera.  I like to have a picture accompanied by words.  I hate telling people what is on my mind; I’d much rather show them and hear their take.  I love to hear what others have to say, because it’s a way for me to tap into their psyche.  

Einstein once said “I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious”.  Just so, my curiosity lurks on every corner.  I have always been interested in people.  I have always wanted to learn their stories.  My inspiration lies in the minds of the people around me.  I am very curious to know what they are thinking of.  I want them to tell me so that I could create a story out of their stories.
