"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still."
...you must be thinking what does mind clutter has to do with photography??? Well, to start off this new year, i have decided to put every little thought or epiphany that flows through my mind... in writing. I actually would love to take a picture of my thoughts, brain and mental processes but since that would probably result a bit challenging and rare, "writing" will suffice for now. :-) I have been struggling with my own thoughts and to me, starting this blog is like taking a picture of my "mind clutter" and freezing my thoughts in time, letting them flow, breath and just be.
One of my greatest passions apart from writing is PHOTOGRAPHY. There is absolutely something about the "capturing of moments" - (hence the title of my blog) that completely fascinates me. I am talking about every smile, face expression, movement , color or lack of color - of absolutely everything that has LIFE. I love photography and everything it involves, from start to finish. The final result...the moment when I can actually see each emotion and how i've recorded that specific moment in time in which everything around me felt ALIVE!!
Unfortunately, LIFE and THOUGHTS are a totally different!! This is where it gets complicated i must say. A moment can be captured in a photo and that is where it ends...in that moment! Happy moments are transformed into digital albums or picture frames around our home - making that moment alive again each time we remember them. There is nothing absolutely wrong with memories - especially if we know which ones to keep and which ones to let go of. But our minds have a very hard time letting go of thoughts or beliefs that are not necessarily good for us. In my effort to start "letting go" of certain pre-concieved beliefs and negative thoughts of how LIFE should be lived, i am inviting my readers to join me in this journey.
I am 30 years old and i have to admit that although i feared reaching this point in my life, it has greeted me positively and empowered me to get to know myself better,to love who i am, to accept my present moment and to embrace change.
Patiently, i will tackle all these topics here and hopefully will make this process fun for myself.
