At times, we all are in a confused state. A state that sometimes can hamper thinking abilities and creative sparks in an individual. I am quite sure that all of us go through the phase and get bugged. As for me , honestly, confused state is something that I always cherish. It is something that opens up a plethora of opportunities, and if executed ,something or the other actually clicks.Although with many caveats.
Now when this confused state comes when you travel or when you have a camera in your hand ,many would say that it wont be a good sign for making pictures, which is quite true to an extent. But there is always a chance to be taken, with some caution of course to implement some opportunities in confusions.who knows ,may be we could have a different look towards the world e are in.....
Many may not approve of this ,as the common definitions are that you should be sure of what you are shooting , but looking at a thing in many confused ways may sometimes yield some eccentric viewpoints.Isn't it true that when you actually are lost in a dream,you find a better one...here is a series of some of my confused states of mind,from the jungles....
The music of nature-, the perception of the height of the trees and the motions of the green make it look as if winds have changed directions and flowing up.No of interpretations made from such images are myriad and its better to leave them on the viewers...
The army of trees-, a spooky appearance of a jungle. I wanted to create a nightmarish feeling of the night times in jungles, alone. The dark woods and grey grass created a feel I wanted, again tastes vary from viewer to viewer....
The broken dreams-,there was once a time when I was fruiting with all my might and there were greener days for me, but all has gone brown now, exclaimed the tree. I wanted to portray how the times changed for the tree,in the left., winds of changes they say are always unavoidable.....
Through the dreams-,A feeling of dejavu, feeling of repeating the journeys may occur a lot of time in sleep. What we remember about them after we wake up is not a clear picture , a mixture of things is rendered afterwards. This was more or less what I wanted to portray, a motion through times..
From the similar lines of above pic this is below the way I portrayed a flying peacock.Honestly I wanted to make a clear picture of a flying peacock, but it was too far from me , and backdrop of trees was interesting.
At times , you should use your tools to the way you want them to....
Coexistence-, The story of togetherness of egret and buffaloes, the day to day flying away of egret from one buffalo to other one, and the calmness of buffalo is what i wanted to portray.The bluish rock like structure is actually a calm buffalo who always remain so and egret the same one which was on buffalo for an instant and flew away in next one....
Together for ever-, The state of mind need not be always hazy ,confused or undefined.They can be deep,unmoved and defined. The two trees, standing together , on a beautiful landscape indicate a deep thinking levels, which can infer too many things about what they may really be thinking about....
Well this is about it , the confused state of mind. I know I may not have been successfully in representing the idea behind the subject but as it goes its the curiosity that drives us. And as the prominent artist Salvador Dalli puts it ,"what is important is to spread confusions ,not eliminate it "I feel its more proper to spread them far and wide, it only helps to clear them.
Also in every walk of life confusions always encounter you ,aptly its been said that "If you are not confused ,you aren't paying attention"... so the bottomline simple goes " Stay confused, stay blessed " ... :)

We all think photography should be how we have been made to see since childhood - sharp, focused and with a certain frame. If Picasso thought of art only like what Constable, Monet and the Michelangelo saw them then abstract art would not have been so popular. Therefore, when one is confused you give way to see things in a different way and the artist in you takes over. I liked the picts above as they gave me a chance to see the same trees, same birds, same landscapes in a different way and in a pleasing way. Keep up the artist in you alive by following your heart.
