My World Thru Lens./ 11:50 AM This world is a cold one for those unhappy and depressed, a warm one for those basking in the bliss of happiness, a cool one for those enjoying life, and stormy one for those going thru the toughest times of their lives... At different point of times, we have different thoughts about the world we live in. So what exactly is our world made of? I had a rather long conversation with BFF this morning, and a lot of things were said. Which kinda made me think a lot, hence I'm blogging here about my thoughts... We were on a topic related to my DSLR camera, and during the conversation I realised how much my life was changed because of a camera. Looking at life thru the lens of a camera does bring a very different perspective of life. You can choose to beautify the things u see, or you can choose to capture the uglier images and see how unglam this world can be. You can capture raw emotions of everything, be it happy or sad, depressed or overjoyed. You can capture whatever is beautiful on the surface, but beneath that surface could be something beyond what the camera captures. There's so many ways you can twist the world with a camera, so twisted that you can't differentiate what's real and what's not; yet it can also capture things so real and vivid, you'll feel like you're at the scene of the picture yourself... This isn't just the only reasons why I love taking pictures. Every picture may have its own story, and similarly every photographer takes pictures for different reasons. To me, the camera is my best companion when I feel lonely. It is a friend that lets me see things from a different perspective, to understand how beautiful yet ugly the world can be, and also to capture moments that can leave a lasting impression for life. The camera also acts as a veil that hides a photographer's thoughts. Behind the lens, you do not see the photographer's face, nor are you able to feel what he/she is feeling with every picture he/she takes. Pictures taken may portray the happiest of moods, but does that mean that the photographer was in a happy mood too? Not necessarily. With my camera I can look at things differently from what my naked eyes tell me. It's just different when u simply put a frame to the things u see. Can we apply this logic too to the reality we face? Maybe we can all just try to see the world like it's made up of beautiful pictures. At least it's a way to see things more happily. And i can only sigh behind the lens... |
