FLAWS




The fallen leaf was decaying while the white paint on the Tarmac bore cracks. The flat rocks that bridged the gap created by the sewage between the home and the road was flawed. When I stepped out to bring the vegetables I had not noticed any of these things. The closer I looked at the world it’s flaws enlarged. The closer the world looked at me, my flaws also enlarged.

I have spoken about my poor skills in approaching people. That led me to shoot more inanimate objects. The more I started to shooting them, the peer pressure of finding the best light, hiding the flaws of a person, forcing a better composition reduced. The process became way more inward and almost meditative in nature.  CHECK THE FULL SERIES BELOW

Home is where you keep your windows open, The doors ajar The plants watered. Home is where the curtains are towels and The other way round.

Home is where you reach it even in a blindfold You still feel the warmth when it is cold, No matter what, home is where we are all Bold. Home is where you have enough spare changes, parched clothes, damped eyes, and clamped memories Home is you, Home is a clean toilet, Home is web cobbed corners And moss covered parapets Allergic carpets And lost pets

You don't feel like bringing the things to its natural orders. The external chaos you are ready to embrace is it because of the turmoil inside.? PS: The image was made from the balcony of our home on a crazy evening.  Equipment: Nikon d7200 with 18-140mm lens. Shutter speed in the range of 1/5 to 1/30s(Hand Held) and hundred tries

Some photographers have the special skill of approaching people which I completely lack. But on the brighter side, I can concentrate on things like dead rats , roads, a chocolate wrapper discarded by some arrogant person, a hanging toilet cleaner, and of course self portraits. I can go full detailed and take my own time with each of my inanimate subjects without worrying about what it will think of me. We humans have the tendency to associate Human forms to things that are non living. Anthromorphism yeah that’s the word. But why do we do it ? Do we want to connect to things and spaces in a Human way so that we become one with everything around ?
