The First Rays….

Posted on by admin_saj

Framed in:  Dawn… The first light in the sky before sunrise. It brings hope and a pleasant breeze. After a restful sleep, we wake to the cool morning air, filled with happiness and expectations. The atmosphere is serene, and the windows are ready to welcome the new rays of hope. What more could you need? Embrace it. Let it always be dawn in your life! May the balance of your life remain steady, and may the birds chirp joyfully all around you.

 

Framed out: It was Panjim, Goa—an ideal haven for any photographer. The visual variety and richness it offers are truly remarkable! A simple walk with your camera can transform you into an exceptional photographer. My first visit was in 2004, to photograph a painting exhibition organized by the Indian Christian Art Association. I was assigned by my college to cover the event. The mornings were always enticing. Armed with a Nikon FM10 camera and a 70-200mm Vivitar lens, I set out for a morning walk. It rewarded me with some incredible pictures. This one is particularly dear to me, as it captures a wide array of perspectives: the symmetry, the colors, the lighting, and the grandeur of Portuguese architecture. Presenting that dawn… for you!

The Elixir….

Posted on by admin_saj

Framed in: Dreams are the essence of life. Without them, life would be a monotonous chain of realities. They add spice, hope, and joy, and when you dream, you are reborn. In this sense, dreams are the elixir of life.

Dreams are deeply personal; you can’t expect someone else to dream for you. You must dream your own dreams and hold on to them tightly. As former President of India, Dr. Abdul Kalam, famously said, “Dreams are not those you see during your sleep, but those that keep you sleepless.”

So, I am sleepless and still clinging to my dreams. Are you with me?

Framed out: It was one of those monotonous vacation days. After lunch, I usually feel a wave of lethargy that tempts me to nap, but I despise sleeping during daylight. To shake off the drowsiness, I grabbed my camera and wandered around the compound of my house with a macro lens attached, searching for something intriguing.

Nothing captivated my interest until, on a whim, I glanced at my fist and held it up against the sun. That sight sparked my creativity. I quickly removed the lens cap, set the shutters and apertures to the higher end, and clicked with one hand. The result was stunning!

This photo has drawn a lot of appreciation for me as a photographer. There was even a mention of this photograph in one of the issues of ‘The Hindu’ when it was exhibited in “Artographies,” an exhibition of photographs and paintings.

Welcome to GREYFRAMES!

 

 

 

Here, you’ll explore the world through my black and white photographs, each one infused with the colors of my heart, soul, and dreams.

 

 

Every image on this blog tells two stories: one within the frame, captured in the moment, and one beyond it—the story of how that moment came to be. I’ll share both with you, offering a glimpse into the creation of each photograph and the narrative that surrounds it.

 

 

This blog will showcase my own images captured through the years, with occasional contributions from others if their stories resonate deeply.I hope you’ll join me on this journey and share your thoughts and feedback.

 

Lal Salaam!
