Pinhole Perspective

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence

Seen this before



Must ve been 6 in the morning. The backwaters of Kerala. Wake up in a stupor, bang my legs on the cot and stumble onto the deck of the houseboat. And see paradise shrugging off the dark. A lump in the throat. And you feel God must exist and does love you. I would like to think it was just the vodka.
An onlooker at office commented that the scene is nothing special. Pictures by over enthusiatic amateurs always almost never are. I had no one to share the sight with that morning. The sun was rising just for me. That is special

Gaayi... Gaayi...


Photo of a friend of mine. No idea who took this. Huge unseening eyes. A Shubha Mudgal song, which goes gaayi...gaayi... Remember seeing her sing this in a concert. The same round unseeing eyes. Lost in neverland. Same with this photo? Will ask my friend when i get to Neverland
