About
A few days back, I was arranging my photos – storing them in separate folders, labeling them with year and context. So many memories – some are sweet and never to be forgotten, while some are on the verge of astray. The number has been increasing since last year, as I started learning photography, experimenting with professional lenses and cameras, and exploring new avenues. Most of these photographs, both old and new, have stories – some are sweet and never to be forgotten, while some are on the verge of astray.
The idea of ‘Every picture tells a story’ came to my mind at that very time, and I decided to pen them down in a journal. That’s how ‘Memories born’ was born. Soon after birth, I decided to include some of those countless memories that are recorded in my mind every single day.
In a nutshell, ‘Memories Born’ is here to share stories of hidden imagination behind every photo, and to rejuvenate the dying romanticism from the hard soils of reality.
