Lets talk through Photographs

We are puppets pulling each other Strings
I decided to create this photograph on reading the book ‘The Fine Balance’ by Rohinton Mistry. It is based around 1975-77 when the then Prime Minister declared Emergency and all civil liberties stood frozen. Police could arrest anyone without trail and detain them for an infinite period. I could feel the helplessness of the main characters who were nothing but the puppets in the hands of politicians, police, bureaucrats and society.
The content of the book kept hovering in my mind for several days. Upon looking closely at our society I realized that we are all puppets in the hands of one another and the notion of ‘Free Will’ seemed like an illusion. With all the fuss over freedom and fundamental rights we all know that it is just a game of power in the end. But closely seeing even the most powerful is not free to do things he wants and the way he wants.
I have discontinued my 365 as I felt I am not learning anything and not producing what I want to. From last 5-6 photographs I have been creating photographs from scratch. From just an idea to a sketch to taking individual photographs and the finally making it in photoshop. I have been pretty happy seeing that I have now 5 sketches which are now finished photographs.
180. How Society Kills
A photograph dedicated to all the students preparing for JEE and other competitive exams. It is for the pressure they bear. I have been through this and I know that people can kill you just by seeing, by comparing you to others. Imagine how you would feel if people are constantly staring at you. Every moment of your life is under the glance of society. Society, whose only work is to comment on others’ lives.
178. Evening-Walk
I got this idea while seeing some artwork on Tumblr which used a 3-D installation of a cloud in a room. My mind connected the random thoughts of the day and I got the idea of making an umbrella of cloud. This special type of umbrella will not protect you from rain but it will provide rain. I drew a very neat sketch of the idea first and then worked for hours in editing to finally get what I wanted. I have decided to make neat and detailed artworks from now on and I hope this is the right start.
118. On the Top
I recently went bald and thought of making some use of it. I have 3-4 more ideas on the same. Flickr link
104. A New Beginning
Made a conceptual photograph today based on the weekly theme by the 104 group. I think I will get to know new people and also the themes are interesting. Well, my interpretation was quite simple- to lock away the old troubling memories and start anew. Working on a lot of stuff these days and I love it. The final draft of the ‘Workshops for Kids’ will be ready by tonight. I started work on the character design too. Lets hope things keep going like this 🙂 Flickr link
88. In Search of the Golden Fleece
I went to shoot some different photo but on the way modified that idea into this photograph. The basis of this photograph is the question- What should I do with my life? What career should I choose? What is it that I can do throughout my life? Almost 90 % of my friends are still searching for the answer of this question. The one reason I don’t give up on photography is that I know I belong to that 10% who knows what they love to do in life, so I should make use of it. I used magazine covers to denote different careers and choices as magazine covers features the best of each field. The Flickr link for a better quality
