she calls herself a photographer.
i know why she does.
it is not because she has a fancy camera that allows her pictures to turn out to be effortlessly beautiful,
but not that she puts in a lot of effort.
it is not because she puts effects on her photos so that others might approve of her talent.
she is a photographer because she sees things which others see as well but cannot comprehend.
she has the vision that she captures in frame.
she calls herself a photographer,
not because she takes pictures of others to make them look beautiful.
but because she captures the character of a person in her frame.
when her eyes look upon something, anything and as she blinks the picture is stored in her memory for ever, maybe lost along with several memories of vibrant sunsets and forgotten friends and other things.
she calls herself a photographer because she considers her photographs to be fragments of her vision she wishes to share with the world or to store in a carboard box in the corner of her attic behind a pirates chest.
she is a photographer they say. and i agree.

yes. i agree also. i agree about the photograph and how they capture character and not necessarily beauty in the conventional sense of the word.
This is beautiful.
very profound.
I think all art is a cry for understanding by the artist... We write, we paint, we photograph all so that for one brief moment someone will feel as we felt about something- a sort of communion of the soul at second hand.
Are you the photographer?
Are you sure no ne comprehends things like you do?
Maybe I dont want to share my photographs maybe I am not strong enough to face rejectoin???
a photographer is an artist is a visual poet is a prophet - I agree.
seems like you've spilled out whatver you feel when you look at something and imagine what sort of a photograph it would've turned out to be had it been taken by you then and there.
i like this..
what do you call a photographer who doesn't have a camera? Sees things no one else sees and puts them in a materially non-existent frame. A dreamer? Art is only art when its expressed. Potential art is as good as daydreams.
I think your blog has changed, rupsha. Its been through a lot and gone through various phases. :)
This is really nice.
