Ganesh, exactly this is what I felt when I see the images through my viewfinder.
New non obvious experience which results in standing I front an image and wondering about it I wrote the situation when I made the image to give a hint of my state of mind.
As you know, there is a forest near by my home. Whenever I go there the presence of the forest itself gives a wonderful feeling. The forest ..it is there..calm and quite...why should search for an image ..Why shouldn't I try represent the calmness, emptiness of the forest? What is the meaning of this forest? The forest is there... I am there... Why should I expect something to happen between us? Why shouldn't I try to represent that silence between us?
Too much philosophical? or useless sentiments?...
Writing too much about our own images may make the image dilute, so I try to avoid writing about the image. But in this case unless I write my thoughts can't be elucidated.
I have tried to construct a suspense in these images. A layer... something looks happening....but nothing happens.... finally the image takes one to point zero... or takes one to infinity... or it is like a half written poem... scribbles in a writers notepad...
In this image there are layers of leaves... I first see the top left green leaf, then the lower..then the right one...then the yellow one... I anticipate for something...nothing unfolds... image just evaporates... yet compels me..
yes, it's too much... patting my own back... I know the image doesn't deserve this...
But I am in the journey ... Hope to make the images in my mind one day...
Doc, you know I wanted to add a line with this "
this image is to Nilanjan for the difference we share with regard to abstracts."
Your opinions have influenced me a lot with regard to abstracts. Now, I think simply labelling an image abstract becomes too much generalisation. I need to justify the image, at least to myself.
RD- confused? No, may be my images are confused...
