before starting

I just need to explain something before starting this whole photo blogging. The photos I post here, are NOT the best pictures of any kind at all, they are just snapshots which I feel connected to in some ways, sometimes maybe in a very simple and plain way, and sometimes in a passionate one. Whatever it comes alone, don’t forget that I am not claiming any credibility in this regard. All it is, I am only sharing these photographic thoughts with you, and for sure I will need your input and advice, not necessarily the technical one, but mostly the very first thought that comes to your mind when looking at the pictures.

The other thing we have to try to learn is that most times the photos are not saying any thing more than what they represent, they simply are what they are, so please do not try to see them metaphorically. Some of us have been raised in societies which people in order to survive, have to hide their thoughts for the fear of being persecuted or prosecuted. After generations and centuries this becomes a common practice, which everyone tries to see things in layers. Meaning no one believes that a poem or a photo about a bird, is only about the bird anymore. Instead they understand that the poor bird is the symbol for freedom and etc., they would rather to understand it in a most complex form.

Simplicity is a state of mind which we should work to gain, a U turn toward our origin. So let us to start here, by just seeing the world and its content the way it is, and not with our complexity pair of glasses. Let us to taste the life the way it is, with no any other spices added to it, let’s have fun with the child within us. Maybe just then we could contribute something worthy to the today’s HUMANITY.
