Rendevouz with...

This is not the rendevouz with Simi Garewal...

A very ordinary snap...but does'nt it seem like the flower itself is being interviewed...well it's upto the observer. And this is the interesting perpective that I wanted to captivate which I had mentioned in a post sometime back Framed Forever[ ] . I like that show too, though I don't get to see it often. Such interviews really helps get to know people - the taste of the celebrities & their life style.

Apart from being a nature enthusiast, I like observing people too - especially when there are lots of cultural differences. Adaptability is one of my strengths and I enjoy, being in such ambience.

Collated emoticons!

One sentence that I often quote is "Life throws a bunch of surprises". It all results in, well a mixture of emotions, I say - Collated emoticons!

We all have our own collection isn't it?


It's a pleasure to watch both kids & flowers grow, from close by. Both are full of energy and can make one smile, feel fresh, light & make our day brighter. Now I miss my little darling Niece - Shana very much and can't wait to get back to chennai! Whatever, I still remember the smiles (which I had forgot) she brought of me when I held her in my hands one year back. But for now its juz diff varieties of flowers around Richmond to stare at.

If you were wondering what's so special about this shot...it was among my first few shots from the first day of my stint with my new camera in chennai, 2 yrs back...n am stil a beginner! I wanted to use it on something and walked down my apartment to the front yard with these flowers...

How to Name It!

... not the best one, happened to click while out for a shopping.
As said,

Is white for peace!
Wonder who started relating da colors to the abstract emotions...but v follow.
Personally am fond of white and I prefer to keep a shirt & T-shirt of milky white in my wardrobe...

To me, innocence is the first thing that comes to my mind, wherever I see it. I have met/ known few nice people who have alwayz been successful in influencing me, to be a better human. At the end of the day, I would like to close my eyes knowing that I have been, what I wanted to be. Next day does not matter to me.

What will happen without White...well, still willing to while away with whole lot of other colors!

Turning Red...!

Well, she was'nt shying away from me...its probably the sunlight...!

As research suggests, they may not talk but may know our presence!

...I hope anyone who sees this gets the feel of being close to the flower, as I was...

Expressive...

The frame & color that I had in my mind for quite some time...! Wud'nt say that this is what I wanted exactly, but almost - considering that I had no mood to take pictures today!

Have always had a liking for yellow (+black). I realize that I have been filling the pages with flowers...lemme know if any of you is bored lukin at these! but was surprised to know what all yellow symbolises!

Smile is what I see in it...n I hope this brings a smile on all your face too!

Silence that utters...

Silence of a flower...I felt like, it wanted to convey something, but din't! God only knows what it wanted to say.

Remembered reading a research article that plants respond to our emotions and intents. Google for "plants respond to our emotions "...very interesting & big article.


...Lykd da back ground in this, as it luks more lyk a watercolor painting.

Did someone ask me, what the poets in ancient times referred the flowers to...!

Bee-in(g) Pink!

There is a guy based out of the US, who was an amateur photographer (1 year back). And some of his snaps can only leave us mesmerized. I had expressed my anguish that I don't get to be in such ambience most of the times.

This is what he said "I suggest looking close by and using macro to find interest in the seemingly mundane. Many times I've seen an unusual treatment of a common object and wished I had thought to use the same technique. Creativity is a process learned more than an inborn trait".

These words cannot be forgotten, isn't it?

While I do like the macro shots, one does'nt have to own a macro lens for that. There is a great amount of detail involved that has to be looked into, if you are going for one. But then that makes it equally interesting. I know these are not the best, but not bad for a non-macro lens...

...Our subject was quite busy flyin around, mayb I need to fix up a time 4 a shoot!

But an interesting frame of the flower popped up in my mind now. I would definitely take it, the next time I go out. Most of the times when I go out, I don't have specific things in my mind that I would capture. But the few instances when I look for a something, makes it very exciting & enjoyable.
