Title: Two Roads Diverged In The Woods........
Post by: VC on February 14, 2011, 11:57:19 PM
This is not really connected with RC but, then again, it is. It is all about who I am (and many others out there who are reading this) and what we stand for.

I'm rather happy with the way this photograph turned out (Off Tezpur, near Nameri Eco camp) and these lines of Robert Frost came to my mind as I was shooting it.

Hope you all like it.

thanks..

"people may not understand but images have emotions..
who are in touch, they feel it,
and who are not they make fun of it"..
-its reality, but a true artist never gets embarresed..

Thanks all! First, I'm not a good photographer, just a lucky one. Second, I use the cheapest Sony Cybershot in the market.

Regards.

VC sir, i never read any such poems.. I wrote what i learnt from my own experiences.
If it matched, then its a great pleasure to have a thinking like a poet. In my High school, I was greatly impressed by Ruskin Bond.

I still remember the " Leisure" by William Henry i think..

What is this life so full of care,
where there is no time to stand and stare,
no time to stand beneath the boughs,
and stare as long as sheep or cows...........

Leisure

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

William Henry Davies

Ok lets not deviate from topic what we are here for.
VC sir even I use an old and cheap camera Kodac c series. Sometimes i feel the want for a professional camera but what i think, that its not the camera, but the photographer, the angle, the instance which makes the photo meaningful and beautiful. never regret u have got one of the jwels.  and definitely i will buy one as soon i can afford one.
