Photography to me is a form of art. Some choose to compose music, to paint or carve wood, I choose to take pictures: my form of self-expression. It is this artistic aspect that allows me to express my feelings and emotions to the viewer through the images I capture. I compose something that has my passion, my ideas, and my thoughts in it. It's a part of me, an imprint of my relation to the scenery, to the things that surround me. The objects or people I choose to record are parts of the world. Once I push the button they form a closed whole, and start a new life. I have frozen time and recorded history in the making. When I hold my camera, I start to view things from my own perspective, and when I push the button, I create.
I have been shooting photos for a year now, and I’m happy to say that I have captured moments in time that will never happen again. To me that is a triumph. It's amazing how a captured moment is capable of carrying a whole story, a chain of movements. It is the beauty, the complexity, the freedom, and the mystery of art. I use my imagination and I always remember that there are no boundaries to what I can create.
Smile and others will smile back. Smile to show how transparent, how candid you are. Smile if you have nothing to say. Most of all, do not hide the fact you have nothing to say nor your total indifference to others. Let this emptiness, this profound indifference shine out spontaneously in your smile.
