During my younger years, there weren’t family photos or family albums around the house, except for two oversized photos: One of my sister and one of myself. We didn’t have many other albums, except for baby albums, and I wondered to myself: What had happened between the time I was a baby and then? What filled that gap? To me, that gap will remain a blot of black ink across the pages of those years. No matter how often, and how thorough, my family members would explain to me, in explicit details, all the events that transpired in those years, my imagination would not truly grasp the words to realize them. All I truly needed was a photo to go along with the descriptions; a photo for my imagination to build a memory around.

Photos of all kinds, from the technically faulty to the artfully superb, are windows to a moment in time once passed, the only tangible thing in life every human absolutely and ultimately possess. Photos hold the power to reconstruct a single instance of people, thoughts, emotions, events, ideologies, and even the flow of time itself. Photographs, like words and achievements, are immortal justification to our existence.

I could no longer bear the thought of not capturing the moments of my life, other people’s life, the culture and structure and light and dark that compose our world. Armed with only a 2 MP, semi-automatic camera, I set out a plan to carry it with me wherever and whenever I went, to capture glimpses of this world.

Through the years, I learned some new concepts of photography. With the help of a dear friend, an excellent web designer, computer scientist and an amazing, passionate photographer, I joined deviantART and it has been an exhilarating experience ever since. I met an insurmountable number of people of many different talents, all of which have been, without exclusion, an inspiration for me to push forward and improve myself.

I have come a long way since then, and I owe it to everyone’s support and passion for my photos, as well as life for putting me in all these wonderful experiences to frame in timeless images. I still have a very long way ahead of me, but I have come along some milestones, and I am enjoying every step of the journey forward.

As much as I love deviantART and my fellow deviants, I saw that I am leaving out a lot of other friends, family and people who would like to enjoy captured moments – both the ill-conceived and the well-composed and help me along this long journey.

So here it is ladies and gentlemen, my new photoblog. I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I will enjoy updating it
