Simplicity

This exhibition is called simply "Simplicity". They say a picture paints a thousand words but sometimes one word is just enough. A letter from each word from each photo is chosen to form the word SIMPLICITY

You may have noticed a word that you have not seen before. Hygge is a Danish word that means "coziness". It's pronounced "hoo-gah". It is related to the English word hug. Hygge as a concept encourages us to find joy and comfort in the simple things.

Mind is light. A photographer's journey.

The phrase "mind is light" can have several different meanings, depending on the context in which it is used. The one that I like is the more spiritual context, the realization of one's true nature, which is often described as being pure, luminous, and limitless. Here is the link to the high-res photos in this exhibition. Also, the same photos with the messages in the description are on flickr . Photos will be added daily. Read the story here .

I realised what a fool I had been. I was shocked to see myself in my true light: here I was, wanting to change the whole world and everyone in it- when the only thing that needed changing was the focus of the lens of the camera which was my mind."

One to ten

I am a minimalist. I believe in quality over quantity. I believe that less is more. I believe that there is beauty in the simple. I had gotten up early one morning and I stumbled upon "minimalism photography" on facebook and decided that this is something I wanted to take part in. Today is Sunday the tenth of December.

This exhibition is called "one to ten" and the fascinating thing to me that I noticed was that one ends with "ne" and ten ends with "ne" in reverse and the starting letters "t" and "o" form "to" which fits nicely in the middle of "one to ten". There are ten characters in the phrase "one to ten" and the distinct letters make up the word "note" which leads me to say, "numbers are the notes of nature". Galileo Galilei famously stated that "Mathematics is the language in which Go

I wanted to create something different. I took some unusual photos and applied the magic of editing (this time in Snapseed) to create art from photography. An attempt to see my world differently and move away from the mundane. Link to high res versions of each photo are here . Shade Entrance Deep Silky Feels Blocks Wild High Close Firm
