Reality Shots




Reality is all around us and most of the time our instinct is to escape it. We find it apparently boring, mundane, depressing and ordinary too. Probably I am not different in that sense except when I am behind a camera. Then “reality” is the only thing of beauty or joy I experience. Life as it is happening, breathing- non –committal- its neither happy nor sad. Its just there for the lens to capture. And if you stare hard enough you might discover something. In photography we talk about “perspective” quite a lot. Perhaps this is what I am trying to highlight but in a different way.
