Photography.

Now, i wouldnt say that the first word that left my mouth when I was born was 'camera', so don't think that I am the best photographer in the world or anything, I would'nt think so too. But then snaps clicked by me arent that bad either. For one thing, I hate it when people show me photographs which have only people in it !!! I mean if its a social event or a party function then you'd obviously have snaps of people taken, cause there is nothing else to shoot, but people !!! What I mean to say is that I like to take and view photographs of landscapes and natural beauty more than I like to take and view photographs of only people in them. Of course, one might argue that natural beauty is as is taken by the eyes of the beholder. For example, there might be a very naturally beautiful lady in the group of people whom you have snapped !! Yes, thats ok, but then, I have seen pictures of only people even when they go to places like kathmandu and nainital. I mean c'mon...... Whats the point of looking at stupid idiots when there are lush green, mountainsque and picturesque landscapes behind those dimwits? If you take a photo of someone standing with a clearly visible view behind him / her, it looks beautiful, in fact it adds beauty. But its simply ridiculous, if you're taking such a closeup that you're hiding the background from view !!!! Some fools argue that those are for memories. But my counter-agrument is that, good group photographs can still serve as good memories and a few group / couple photographs ought to be enough for the whole trip. The 'exotic poses' can be taken at home or matrimonial photos can be snapped in studios !! Some people are just out to prove that 'we-were-there-for-the-trip-and-we-enjoyed-a-lot !!' through the photographs !!! I mean, look, you dont have to prove that do you? Unless, you have an appointment with the district attorney who's out to prove that you are innocent in the murder case of some poor dodo who stayed in the same hotel as you did on the trip?
