I have always loved poetry and there was a time when I used to write. Last week as I was cleaning my study I found my old poetry book. Turned the pages and read a few of them. I'm sharing one here today and my photography for this post is inspired by this poem.
I in myself, myself in me
Let me discover the I in me,
let us all discover the I in us,
Not that I which says,
I want,
I desire,
I own,
Let us see the I where everything seems your own, not belonging but a part of you. Not even a part of you, but complete you and in no other fraction.
Let me see the flower and say :
How beautiful I am
How sweet I smell
The winds, the mountains, the forest, the trees, the lake, the waterfall - all of them are in me and I'm in them. They are all I.
In such a sweet dream I was ...
What strange screams that wake me from this dream, the voice that says: I want, I desire, I own. It is mine cause I bought it, I earned it, my blood, my money...The I has become we.
I say " I love I" and they call me conceit.
Walking in six-inch deep snow and setting up a shoot as the winds blew in more snow, the moment felt as beautiful as poetry. I saw a squirrel startled by my movements rush into a tree and all the snow fell, as it jumped from branch to branch. Absolutely blissful. Nature is beautiful even when it is brutal.
If you want to learn steam photography - best time as the temperatures dip ( summer is not really perfect for steam). Email me I'm going to be doing a promotion on my classes - stay tuned.
The recipe is very simple.
5-6 cardamom pods
2-3 inch cinnamon stick
4-5 blackpepper corn
Powder the above.
Heat apple cider, add 1 tsp juice of fresh ginger and 1/4 tsp of above powder. You got an amazing drink, add honey if the sweetness of apple cider is not enough for you.
The poetry sure is enough inspiring for such great photographs! Winters and tea has to be the best of combinations! Trying this at the soonest!
