just the way i want it ....

HomeJohn's PhotographyDec 2, 2006
I take photos because photos are nothing but a frozen moment, an impression in time. Life itself is just an endless collection of moments and impressions. Its a compulsion, addiction, obsession, a desire to create, explore, learn, bang my head against a wall in frustration. Its the satisfaction in knowing that you just took a good photo and not having the faintest idea how you managed it-- wanting to do it again many times over. It does not require anyone else to validate the feeling. The image feels right and doesn’t need an explanation as to why "it works"

Each of these moments leaves us with an impression. From impressions arise a myriad of thoughts. Some thoughts you like, some you may not like. Some you choose to remember, while other thoughts fall into the black hole of the mind, to be forgotten forever, dissolving into the void. Or do they?

There is a beauty in everything we see and interact with.. but if something repulses you, then why? It only reflects something in you. Take a look, see for yourself. Or do you find the same image lovely and beautful? If so, then why? Something in you reflects that as well. But how often do we remember those impressions? Not as often as we should.

We interact with that moment and leave our impression on it. Who else remembers that moment? Is their impression the same? The moment itself just was. It did not know what to be. But we leave our impression on that moment, that image, which carries on into the ethers of space and time.

Time flies and it flies fast. Photographs I take will always remind me of the moments, the impressions and how beautiful and colorful life has been.
