I don’t know the intricacies of the picture world. I don’t even know, exactly when this miraculous invention was made. But one thing that has always drawn my focus on is the unconditionally magnetic color scale. Over the run of time, this has been the only promising entity that managed to CAPTURE all the smiles. Yes, I am talking about the photographs.
Photographs are the silent speakers. Digging into the archive one can rejuvenate through the foliage of one’s past. Even while she is in grief, if someone puts forth the picture of her little kid, a mother blooms with delight. By just clinging the lover’s photo against the bosom, one feels an unbound nearness to one’s love. Flipping the pages of a scrapbook, one actually revisits the past and cherishes the colorful life that one had with the near and dear ones. The tears that carry with them the innocent memories of yesteryear have no match. All this is owed to the most beautiful and amazing piece of art, the photography.
Life can be lived just once and can’t be redone. The rule of the road says, ‘Life has a double lane with a dark side and a bright side’. We the humans should travel intelligently with an endeavour to keep the dark away as far as possible. So all the synonyms of celebrations and smiles should be captured in the photographs, so that in gloomy hours they dutifully perform as the agents that light up the dark.
It’s not only the physical smile I am talking about. Even the nature bestows upon us the smiles worth clicking in variant manifestations. The picture of lush green woods, a beautiful monsoon rain, flower with a bumblebee hovering over, a peerless sunrise with golden clouds around, monkeys fighting over a piece of banana, birds flying in flocks chasing our freedom, and the list goes on….
Not only that! An obvious delight derived upon clicking a picture ‘imperfect’ and gradually fabricating it into the picture ‘perfect’ is divine. The best example would be of the mind-blowing artists who tend to invigorate almost everything they click, by dint of their creative shutter skills. Viewing such awesome work pieces gives an abstract pleasure.
I am not a paparazzo nor would I try to step into their shoes. I wrote this as I feel that the best moments of life should be freezed. Life is to live, enjoy and later cherish. So whenever you feel low, just put aside all your blues, say CHEESE, and CAPTURE IT !!!
