There is something about capturing images that fascinates me. The ability to freeze a moment in time---sometimes revealing unknown hidden perspectives, sometimes helping remember special moments.

 

I click often with a camera, and a lot more with the mind.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveller, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less travelled by,

And that has made all the difference.

 

--"The Road Not Taken", Robert Frost

Chocolate Geek aka Vipul is a wonderful person. Nature has gifted him with an eye of a nature-photographer (backed by the family history of avid photographers!), an ability to capture those precious, instantaneous moments. A person with a good sense of humour, always smiling, will also make you laugh many a times. Many of his pics have light-and-darkness... depicting a fight between the two. And you will always find him with his big college bag - the sole purpose being to carry his newly bought D-SLR Olympus wherever he goes! Dear friend, you're a nice photographer... keep it up buddy.
