FLASHES: a snapshot of a picture

OPEN YOUR EYES CHILD.

now you can see that you are not blind.- My English teacher in Grade 5.




Life, for a kid, has always been colorful and fun. As we grow old the colors seem to fade away. Everything seems to be dull, lifeless and BLAND. I didn't want to admit it, but I guess everyone's getting old these past days. It's like time warped, then suddenly you're with these people who are more matured than you. Who's to blame? them? Time? or is it just me?. I had been taking photographs of snapshots that I have already seen before. It was just a mere copy of what has happened. I was to immature to accept the fact that I cannot bring back time.  I was an OLD KID already :)




Before I made this BLOG (Foto.Grapiko) I didn't really care about recording life's greatest moments. I was just a typical kid who just watched the leaves of the trees fall as autumn came. I didn't know what to do with my life then. Don't get me wrong or anything, I'm not dying or stating things which are very alike to the last will and testaments of some people. I'm very much alive, but the way things were before, I could be considered dead or of no existence. I wanted to make a change or atleast something :)


I once thought that life was just a repeating cycle of SHIT. Birth, blah blah blah, and then YOU DIE. I was really wrong back then. I was always ranting about how my life was boring, it was no different from anyone else'. Everything just seems to be a play back of someone's life before. What?! Was I only reincarnated? Am I going to go to the same routine again? I always complained. I was only seeing the small snapshot of life. I was too shallow to think that LIFE was BORING.




I now realized that LIFE is like a Photowalk across the road of adventure. We are the photographers. Even though we can only see through the lens, we always had a photo which was big enough to fill our soul. iI stopped to think, WHY am I taking pictures of the Same snaphot that I took?. I started my photowalk and everything else came after that. I already complained about being blind without opening my eyes first. There is no NORMS in life. We should not be chained by status quos and boxed by the fear of the unknown. We should not be boxed by what we all once knew, we have to break free. OPEN YOUR EYES. We are not BLIND.
