| PHOTOGRAPHY | 

I gently press down on the button, keeping my finger in place as I listen to the mechanical twists and turns and wait for the beep. Once I hear the familiar sound, I press down once again and hear the quick snap of the shutter, and within seconds I am looking at a photograph. The device in my hands has once again captured a moment in time – one of many that have been, and many more to come.

Photography started out as a hobby, then became a means of escape and comfort and now it acts as a means to show how I perceive the world around me. Slowly but surely it has evolved into a staple of who I am. To most, a photograph is an image on a piece of paper or on a computer, but to me it means so much more. It is a means of capturing emotion – happiness, worry, excitement, or anger. It is a way to stop time, or as they say in Latin, ‘carpe diem’ – once the moment has been captured, it remains there forever. It is a means of change – spreading awareness and information by capturing what others cannot see.

Please have a look at few moments captured by me.
