Be less curious about others and more curious about ideas.A camera in your hand and the view in front is sometimes all you need to relax. Since I was in school, i had this liking of capturing pictures with different angles and positions. I found it fascinating as a child. As time passes, photography became more like a hobby. I always have my camera wherever I go because I love photography now. Sometimes I take random pictures to keep them as a memory.
On my way to my friend’s house, I stopped on seeing a river flowing nearby. There’s also a dam constructed here that helps generate energy and the electricity we need to run machines for domestic purposes. The place with its calm river flowing beside a power plant became one of those beautiful unasked for spots where photography feels more like a conversation with nature.
I stayed here just for photography to clear my mind off certain things.As I approached the sides of the river, I heard the gush of water flowing.It wasn’t that loud or wild. It made me feel calm somewhat.As a photography lover, I do like all kinds of places even crowded ones but this place had its own beauty to itself which I found exhilarating.
Everything seemed perfectly balanced;the reflections in the water, the soft ripples,the bridge, and the open sky.I waited, watched, and captured everything around me.Good photos I believe come automatically when you allow the moment to breathe and trust yourself.
There was also something deeply peaceful about here being alone with my thoughts. No as such traffic noise,just the sound of water moving forward. It reminded me that life itself is like a river, it keeps going. Time really waits for none. Sometimes, time goes by fast.Sometimes it’s slow but know that it never stops. We just need to pause once in a while and observe our surroundings.
Photography for me isn’t just about capturing beauty. It’s about capturing feelings.This place gave me a feeling of calm, reflection, and quietness.The power plant symbolizes energy and progress while the river symbolizes patience and continuity. Together, they indicate a silent story that doesn’t need words but observation.
I left this place with a great deal of photos and also with a lighter mind. Moments like these remind me why I like photography for it brings peace and the silent messages it conveys that need comprehension.I’ve realised that the most powerful frames come from the simplest places.We just need to look closely and see the beauty in everything.
