Hi Ghanshyam,
I'm coming back after a long long time. Been watching your work with great admiration but. It's my limitation that I can't comprehend text associated with images. Of course there are times when using words is a necessity. More often than not they encumber or to put mildly, interfere with visual dialogue. But you are gifted, endowed with the ability to use words as kins of pictures. Your titles are non-speaking verbal analogues of visuals they never try to explain. It's difficult sometimes to know whether the visual is extension of text or vice-versa. Free flow of thought from text to visual seems to suggest poetry of different kind. Verse written with visuals, visuals brought to life with words.
...heart of song...
you have both. A heart, and, a song.

Sir

Thank you with the deepest core of my heart for what you have reckoned of what I try to put forth here through my images. Sir, basically I am a man of few words if the matter is to put something of my within orally before an audience of more than 12 persons, but I am in my all colors when something I have to whisper in my solitude through my written words before the world. The camera and the films in my school days in 1987 was an extremely costly affair. I had a plastic camera of Rs 80/- and to buy the film in Rs 90/- was a kind of 'mismanagement' in my life. I decided not to try my hands and my heart over photography in those days. By heart, I am a poet writing in Gujarati depicting rural life in my poetry. I write poems to draw pictures of my perception of how I feel the life in small and mundane things around my life. My poetry is my word-pictures. I try to use words so as to create pictures and images of what I see in my visualization. I do photography so as to create words of what I feel in my small world. Most of my images I post here on CNP are made from the area ranging in 500 meters around the place where I work. My images are my visual-poems and my poems are my word-pictures. These are two layers of my consciousness to grasp the beauty of this wonderful Nature. I create images for my soul's sake. When something in my solitude is captured through the camera, I celebrate myself, I sing myself, I dance myself. When something is written with the pen, I am the same spirited one. Now one more layer that I have been creating here on CNP is the embedment of classical and thematic music tracks to my images to complete the 'spirituo-audio-textuo-visual' experience with the help of the image, the title, the music track and sometimes the text in full length. After all any form of art passes through the thoughts (texts and titles), visuals (images) and this creates music where all texts and visuals melt down and become a mere flow of 'Bliss'- this 'Bliss' is the Orgasmic Experience with nature and the existence where we also melt and become one with the eternal harmony.

You are right, Sir, when you say the visual is extension of text and vice-versa. For me photography is my 'pictorial dreamland' just like a newly born child experiences the world in its dreamy eyes. It is my 'textual scriptures' and it is my 'musical journey' as well. I don't see Art in divisions. It is a mixture of musical-visual, musical-textual and musical-spiritual. Art harmonizes the fragmented vision. 60 percent visual of my images takes the help of 25 percent texts in titles and 15 percent from the music tracks to complete the whole harmony together. I see the wholeness in this process of three components.

I understand I create ambiguity, but this is how I perceive the world.

With warm regards......

Like the radiating greens here, Ghanshyambhai.
Regards.
