Something Out Of The Ordinary (Jewel Rays/Amy)

I was pretty clueless on what pic to pick for this topic. I am not much of a photographer despite loving taking pictures of myself etc. Though I Image Hosted by ImageShack.ushave to confess that I adore and admire other people’s photography. I like pictures that tell a story, embraced with emotions, speak what I feel and allow me to get in touch with it. I like something that ministers and connect with me. There were some impressive pictures that some of you guys put up. Really impressive!! The one that I can’t walk pass was the one put up by Harjee. It was just amazing. Totally captivating!!

I picked a pic that I took a while back. It was a pic of myself. It’s a pic that some would probably dump after taking it realizing that it’s a pic that went wrong. But there was something about that pic that drew me to keep it.I saw the beauty of the emotions that spoke through it. I guess everyone has their own opinions abt things. And as for me, this pic tells me a story.

The face has been wiped out due to extensive light. It was just a girl turning towards her side resting her chin on her shoulder and closing her eyes. It spoke art to me. That’s why I kept it. Friends think I am crazy since the face is not visible or has been blinded out. It makes me wonder if any of u guys can grasp the beauty or story I see? Or maybe u see something deeper than I what I see. Lol..Just a curious mind from within. That’s the pic I have to share with all of you today. Hope to gather ya thoughts on it. Pic has not been modified by photoshop or anything. It came out like that the minute I took it. Something that grasp me despite appearing silly to some beautiful mates of mine. Something out of the ordinary often grasp me.Something that is not appealing sometimes draws me. Guess that’s some part of me still in the room called discovery.

Thanks for reading..:)

    :D

    pretty pic out there ... i really liked it .. even though the face wasnt perfectly visible .. the outline said a lot!


    I wrote this for a pic of mine which came out pretty blurred and still i saved it

    "Its surprising how blurred our lives are ... mine is ... but it suggests ... no one's perfect ... and am no one! "

    are u on orkut btw?

    i disagree with uttara... i think the beauty of the pic is because the face is blurred... for a moment i thought it was some pic taken by a professional photographer... makes me wonder what u were musing on!

    n however did u take that pic! i wonder!

    Out of focus photographs are what some call a modern art version of a portrait.
    It indeed at times enhances the very feel and texture of the photograph.
    Like right here :)

    But then again, I cannot but admire the subject and appreciate her contribution :)

    Apologies for the delayed comment. Shall make up for it :)

    Mausi Messy - a very keen eye I must say :)

    That is indeed a picture that speaks volumes. A sea of emotions. It's telling a story without using any words.

    I have seen this pic b4 and I have loved it from the moment I saw it. It is a very special pic Amy. Great choice!

    Ishita: Hello Ishita..:)I loved ya comment. Warms my heart and draws my heart. There are times when i had that same rolling thoughts in my mind. As for this i had no idea what i was thinking when it came out. I can't remember the time i was taking up. for one thing i think i was bored. And having a thing for displays of emotions that does not project the face but body language much or just practically drama. i got this stuff out. And it was something that caught my eyes .:) An emotion that spoke well many times. :)

    You are bringing interpretation to an otherwise obvious visual form, and this way gives this pic a unique identity.

    Glad that you yourself like it, and read so many layers to it.
