: : PHOTO PERSPECTIVES; A BEAUTIFUL MIND

Over the past few years, even since I was in grade school, I really love to capture moments through photographs. And now, there are so many things, both learned and unlearned, shuffles in my mind over the hidden beauty of every photographs...of how its colors represents all elements of humanity, how its angles represents a condition or a personality and etc. (Well, I really didn't mean this to be a professional photography talk. This is just a tidbits of mine. So please don't take anything of this seriously.). I love to look all those frozen caricature in the paper whether it looks amateurish or professionalize. I can still remember the time that i was looking an old bunch of albums in our house and every piece of it, torn and new,  really finds me into a beautiful both changing and unchanging world.

This century had gone so many things and even photographs can be falsified through many manipulations like Photoshop and the like. Well, this kind of techniques, as i called "graphical evolution", is really a good additive in every photo. Though some didn't exactly look like the original, but with this, refinements can be done. It's like a photographer waiting to capture a perfect sunset but suddenly a heavy storm came out so he needs to fine a way...and yeah here's what we called photoshop (and oh, the like...)

Honestly, I never exactly know how photoshop really works but i can say, it's fun. Color curves was one of my favorite things to do making it more charismatic (hope you get the meaning), vintage-looking (oldishing the photo) and so on. So here are the few photos I took and refined. It's not really that good but it's-the-fun-thing that motivates me to play with this stuffs.

Lastly, I always think that photos are not taken to obtain a picturesque result. It is that, we capture because of the memories, both important and nonsense, possessed a great story for the future. Every piece of it tells a story, some generational and personal. It is like every flash freezes the time that you don't want to pass, but yeah, time goes on and on...

Thanks for reading. It is a pleasure to have your ears...or eyes.
