I spend my majorly non-working time at home cooking, mending, laundering, mopping, stacking, sorting and yelling, and also involving operating a heavy vacuum machine. The daily war of house keeping becomes a metaphor, and a curse. Until one day in last week of April of 2009 I decided to order a DSLR to toggle my undiscovered ‘talent’, as I have always dreamed that I could draw and paint and I forever admire some great artworks; The possibility of that one day I could produce something beautiful kept me excited for a long time. Though it has been proved that I don't have the significant eye for photography, but I am having fun. In the course of the everyday I feel the need to capture the unusual, the beautiful, or the comical moments of our lives. For me, it is a means to an end that has pleasant outcomes. Camera made me seeing thing in a different prospective and be grateful for all the good in our life. I started to believe what Dorothea Lange once said, "A camera is a tool for learning how to see without a camera." I have something to looking forward to every moment even while I push the 20 lbs dason vacuum machine at the hall way of my house. |
