on freezing moments

“Picture, picture!”

This is one of my colleagues’ famous (shrieking) quotable quotes on me.

You see, I’m a camera and picture addict. I take pictures at whim; of just about anything I fancy at any given moment (sense of decency, common sense, and all caution being set aside for the sake of art – MY collection of art that is).

From coincidental same-colored shirts of my colleagues to glorious sunsets, I savor them all by freezing them in a photo. And every time, the pictures I take are worth throwing away all caution and enduring the ceaseless banters of my colleagues about my weird photo-hobby. They’re simply exquisite. And looking through them sometimes literally takes my breath away – in an awe or nostalgic fashion, depending on the picture.

Thus, when I have enough money (I know, I know. It will still take time to reach that state.), I intend to upgrade my basic photography skills (I did take a photography class in college if you must know – complete with SLR and developing sessions). Someone recommended Brooks school of photography. I had a look at it and I like the fact that it offers training in filmmaking,graphic design and photojournalism too. We’ll see…
