'A'muse

Drape the sky

Reaching out

Dew drops

Feel

The centre of my being...

Ecstacy

Free. Potent. Ecstatic. Infinite.

Surrender

Complete surrender to whatever life has to offer.

Tender and opening up like the petals of a flower.

A strange confluence of strength, tranquility and effervescence emanates from this vision...

Michelle

Michelle. My home for a long time. I've explored alleyways, jungle paths and expressways riding her. The pillion seat has been the perch of some wonderful people with my arms perpetually on the throttle.

Saying goodbye to her was like bidding farewell to the moments that had gone by. Moments that I cherished and treasured in the depths of my heart. It hurt but, only to a certain extent.

I will ride into the horizons once again.

This is what I wrote the first time I rode her.

The fatigue of the day
deflated by this moment of flight,

the darkness washed out
by a beam of light.

My heart beats in a body of steel
fueled by the vision of the road, i feel.

Freezing the moment

"What is photography?" asked the amiable man in front of me. And through my head flashed moments... moments of extraordinary beauty, joy, grief, anger, horror, insight and hundred such emotions. Most poured out of my grasp before they could be captured just like the sands of Thar.

Photography was a tool with which I wanted to freeze these moments and record them in my book of memories. "A picture speaks a thousand words" they say. A picture exuberates emotions through its subject and texture. That makes photography the art and science of freezing moments.

I consider life momentous and not momentary. I'd like to live it as one long orgasm rather than an evanescent flash. This is the reason I am attracted to photography. It gives me the capacity to capture the millions of moments that would otherwise be lost, never to return.
