A photograph can freeze a moment in motion and tell a story beautifully like a poem does.The spatial existence shared jointly by different things at a particular moment can be beautifully reproduced in a photograph with the object of re-creating the times gone by , or , more importantly, with a view to capturing a human situation.



I have come across a beautiful photo captioned "Expectancy" in a newspaper. In the photograph a woman is drawing back the curtains to look towards the road for the return of her husband or lover or child .The photograph captures beautifully the "waitingness" in the way the woman's body is positioned near the window.

In another picture I have taken of a child playing with the sea the child is shown as running from the surging waves as though he is tempting the waves. Freezing the moment in motion here does not tell a story but has an appeal derived from the child's playfulness
