GANESH, i should not hve deleted, just thought id rephrase and reorganise my multitude of thoughts sparked of by the video and come back later..
you caught the essence of it though..
my struggle,as an amateur, n probably the voice of some on this forum,
i experience a tug of war between..... the need to excel,with the tools, technology, gear,technique and an "information overload syndrome", in an effort to learn,on the one hand.. AND JUST FREEZING PURE EMOTION AND SIMPLICITY..while making a frame, pressing the shutter,on the other.
in the process, out in the field, there may be simple moments of nature speaking to you,just need to be written on a "blank slate",
am i missing those out, with "my preconceived visualisations, complexities of shooting techniques,signature styles,etc etc, can these be called"prejudices", albeit with a positive connotation? this thought process sparked off with Art Wolfe , saying in context, "shoot without Prejudice", of course his context was different.
i answer myself..that technique and tools are needed to express the emotion photographically...one without the other are incomplete.
but how much are we depending on one aspect at the cost of the other.?? guess we all have to figure it out for ourselves.
thanks for the video, i had someone translate it and picked up the essence of it ..touching.will have arati run it in more detail for me..
an amusing aside,sharing yourself,and your thoughts,if this is the wonderful art you produce,with time pressures, commitments n urban life, maybe thats the force thats fuelling your passion for this art and the exellence thereof
rationalizing.!! but heres wishing you more time..to create.
and i had a good laugh at your candid confession of "counting likes"on FB,hahaha, good to know your as human as us, after scaling great heights.
