Shadows and silhouettes: An ode to light

As Humans, we have come to evolve the sense of sight, a sense that has now become so powerful, we are consumed by it, often forgetting to take a moment and soak it all in. Beauty truly lays in the eye of the beholder.

For every person with the gift of sight, there is a different interpretation of the meaning of beauty.
Sight, is only possible in the presence of light without which, our idea of beauty may be compared with that of a mole or a bat. Thus, my interpretation of beauty lies in what I see, and how it appears to me in the presence of light.

 My work comprises images taken at different times in different places with whatever image capturing device available to me at the time. People have said my pictures convey a sense of melancholy, a yearning for a time gone by, or the simple acceptance of the endless circle of life and death.
This may be true, for the inexorability of time is hard to ignore in our ephemeral lives.

असतो मा सद्गमय 

तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।।

मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय 

 शांतिशांतिशांति:


Shadows in Silence

A window into the world

Incognito

Mountains of the Moon

Pagoda


Silhouettes in the sun..
