EUPHORIA

Through the eyes of dreamer, is how my life feels. As years passed, I saw my dream unfolding into a magical life. Watching the very minute spark turning into a full blown passion is still running it's currents in my imagination. To unwrap the riddle, I am talking about Photography. I wouldn't call myself a photographer yet, rather I should say Aspiring because I still have long ways to go, but just like they say, a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Looking at the world through my lens, changed my whole perspective on how I vision the world around me. It took a bit of conjuring to follow through my dreams, and finally live through it day in and day out. It was like the doors opened up the day I just started clicking away with a hidden intention. I was never one of those, who has a finger on the flicker just because.....I now realize why I took the shots I did, because they all meant something to me, but the realization came subtle. There was always a huge craving for creative expression and I just wasn't sure how, and one day I realized it was time to take action to bring my creativity into my daily life. I was never the type who can just do the same mundane things, I had to go beyond and I did.  This blog is not only about photography, it's about the subtleness, the little miracles that started unfolding within me. Looking at the world through the lens, started making me realize the world I live in from different angles. I started seeing beauty in everything and everywhere, I could be driving, sitting in a coffee place or just playing with the dogs. My vision started to open another dimension in my mind, I started noticing things I hadn't noticed before. Maybe the way the light enters the room or the reflecting trees under the moonlight or the yellow leaves on a Maple tree or a snake uncoiling itself on a tree branch. My camera taught me to watch the sunset (see the colorful ridge lines, the streak of colors that lash the sky), an Owl perched on a branch, the rhythm of the ocean waves, birds taking flight, etc, etc....My vision of the place I chose to live or the things I preferred to be around became clear. I crave nature, sea and mountains. I love to wake up while the birds are chirping away right on my window sill, a place of extreme weather or roads with mirages, places you can fade into, these are my choices. As I started exploring how I shoot and capture images, I realized as a Photographer you cannot stand outside the landscape, you have to be a part of it. Little things that used to bore me, now hangs on a different light. I fall in love every day in the most possible way. My life, vision, perspective is different everyday. Little things make me happy. I find joy in solitude and class. I am a rebel who is still searching for new adventures and understanding through her camera Lens.

Someone I know recently observed something very subtle and sweet about me, and it was a huge compliment towards my two passions and I would like to share it -
"Be careful what you say or do in front of Saloni, because whatever you say she might Blog it or whatever you do, she might Capture it."

It's a compliment because I am recognized by two things I am greatly working towards perfection. And this is to all, who live their life in the most unique ways, who have seen the world through different eyes and to all those who live out of the norm, the ordinary.....
