Why 'Social Lens'?
It is called Social, because I am interested in everything related to humanity, how people live and act, what we do consciously and unconsciously, how we effect the world around us and treat one another.
Lens in this context refers to -- wait for it -- the lens of the camera I will be using to take the pictures of what I am seeing (that at least is pretty obvious...), but it also refers to my viewpoint - everything I watch and see is observed through my eyes. There isn't really a way around that of course, and as long as one is aware of that it shouldn't be much of a problem. After all, life is experienced individually and every point of view can add to the greater whole.
As I have noticed in the past, the streets are a great place for observing the whole range of human expressions. It might now seem like a place where you will find all ranges of the human condition expressed on a whim, but that is exactly what I am observing. Just by standing at one place anchored and shooting at close range, I have seen every emotion before me on a crowded busy street. The camera becomes a vehicle that takes snapshots randomly. By doing so, it is like watching a random number generator haphazardly turning over numbers: if one does that for a long enough time span you will witness all the numbers in existence. And just like that it is with human expression.
