Symphony in Monotony 1-3

After twenty one years of industrial, advertising, corporate, travel and
>>product photography, I still don't know what makes a great picture. And I
>>like it that way; the fact that I do not have all the answers. Yet.
>>
>>I am happy that for all the awards and honours that I have won, every
>>picture, after I have developed it, reveals a surprise that I had failed to
>>notice through the lens earlier.
>>
>>When students at the prestigious National Institute of Design in
>>Ahmedabad, where I am a guest lecturer, ask me what's more important -
>>technique, light, presentation or perspective - I have always encouraged
>>them to look for the honesty of the moment. For me, photography will always
>>be about that magical split second when an ordinary moment decides to share
>>an extraordinary secret with anyone who cares deeply enough to see it.
>>
>>My vision for the future is to make tangible sense of the intangible. To
>>capture silences, suppression, vibes, tenacity and brutality, without being
>>shackled by aesthetic limitations. In the process, I hope to provoke many
questions. And I hope not all of them will be comfortable or easy to
answer.
