Jan 4: Lamps make committed and gorgeous subjects for photography, delivering consistently fantastic results each time. The pictures, applying even the least bit of creativity, often come out well. When I started out with this project, I decided that I wouldn't settle for clicking the same old, tried and tested things. As I lay reading one night, the lamp by my bed side looked so alluring that it forced me to think - why not! Why this running away from the seemingly mundane?
The wish to break out of the ordinary is nothing new for me...simply because I had no hand in deciding what that ordinary is. I conform but, many a time, not without questioning. It's stressful - deeply so. But satisfying - even more deeply so. In a fit of doing the regular, I clicked this picture. Such serenity stared back at me! It screamed of the promised beauty, one that I was busy denying...
Sometimes it's just about taking the first step and seeing where it'll take you. I need to tell myself that more often.
