Childhood Memories

All of us have childhood memories to cherish. It reminds us of the people who had been part of our childhood and the experiences and journey that we’ve gone through. Truly it is very inspiring to recall our childhood memories.

Innocence

A child is a symbol of innocence. They are care free from what’s happening around them and depend solely to their parents. They are like clay; there should be somebody who will mold and guide them to be a good person. Their personality when they grow up is a reflection of how their parents nurture them when they are still a child.

Proximity

Mobile phones and other ICT devices improve how we communicate with people. It gets rid of the distance barrier which enables us to communicate with each other even though we are on different locations. We can get in touch to our friends or relatives in real time and virtually meet new friends using the Internet social network service. These technologies dramatically improve our lives.

Journey

Life is like a journey. Along the way we encounter trials and disappointments in life. But no matter how painful the trial or disappointment we come across it teaches us lessons for us to be a better person and continue our journey in life. It helps us aspire for a more meaningful life.

In our journey we also encounter triumphs which teach us to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of life and forget the miseries that we encountered in the past. Along the way we meet people who go along with us in our journey. Someone whom we share our success, someone we turn to in the most desperate point of our life, someone we love.

Have a meaningful journey in life…

Some people may associate this photo to the fading nature of the woman’s beauty or woman’s virginity. It can also be associated to the ruin relationship or trust. A picture indeed paints a thousand words.

Prologue

I am a photography hobbyist for almost two years already. Photography provides me a medium of expression and helps me appreciate the beauty of ordinary things that surrounds me.

I created this blog to show my photographs and describe my thoughts or idea when I conceptualized a particular photo. I will also share through this blog some photography tips and post-processing techniques that I learned. I consider my works as non-traditional. Most of my photographs undergo image manipulation to express what I feel and to give a new meaning to it. I know that there are a lot of arguments in applying excessive photo manipulation. Others don’t consider it as photograph because it alters the transparent nature of photography. However photo manipulation tools allow me to go beyond the boundaries of photography.

The phrase said – “a picture is worth a thousand words. A photograph manipulated or not tells a story and provided different interpretation to different audience. For me I use photo manipulation tools specifically Photoshop to express my thoughts beyond a camera can see. It allows me to think out-of-the-box and give me leeway to express my artistry. It let me present a different scene...
