The Art of Taking Photos


Tricky, the art of taking photos.It is associated with the travails of understanding that it is distinct from photography.With this understanding comes great responsibility, as someone once said.I'm thinking it was Uncle Ben, but I took the liberty to modify it.Meaning is pretty much the same though.
Photography is more of a science, and I'm not at all scientifically oriented.Im not sure which way I'm oriented apart from the usual sexual orientation which people are inherently aware of anyway.
So science, not being for me, I couldn't possibly relate to photography..the dark rooms, magnifications,lenses..the technicalities.So i just resort to the simpler version.Taking photographs.Its splendid really.You like something you see, you take out your camera, and capture it forever.Aah, such beautiful thoughts.It works even better, if something excruciatingly funny comes your way and you have photographic memories to revive the funnyness.

oh and the goats...i can still hear them bleating.

Dream


Its easy to follow norms,to adhere to conventions.Is there place in this world for those who dare to dream, who think beyond the black and white.Society, is a wuss really.Any element that doesnt fit into its framework or follow its protocol is deemed a misfit..an outcast if you will.
The pattern that life is supposed to follow is so conveniently set out for everyone to follow.The established reward system favours the products of this well charted system.Isnt that just peachy?
We live in a world where difference isnt appreciated, its positively shunned.And thats not a good thing.Imagine all the dreams, the aspirations, the desires that get trashed.The creativity that never comes to life.The thwarted enthusiasm.
