Considering how fast paced life has been in the last few months with both the fall and winter semesters goingat such speeds I always try to take a moment off to enjoy the beauty about. sadly, winter hardly provided such luxaries except for the soft muddy slush everywhere. there was one day however that was different, one day that managed to break through winters cold and show us that spring was just ahead.

I have to admit, it was mind boggling to see such good whether, sepecially for someone like me as I was always out, running about. Discarding any concerns for quizzes, midterms or finals i grabbed my camera and tripod and headed for the Windsor river-side.

Fixing my camera and tripod I got the idea to take this picture as i felt I would be nice to have one including me in the snap ( the main dissadvantage of being an enthusiast is that i seldom take any snaps including myself ). I had planned to take one including my outline as i looked at the scene but while taking the snap I felt myself drifting to another place as i turned to face the beautiful sight that lay before me. I was not posing but actually so engrosed in the beauty that i forgot i had taken the snap like half a minute ago and only then was I able to pull away and see the photo.

You see, this beautiful scene is but a 5 minute walk from my place. back in winter I would have willingly ignored preperation for an exam just to enjoy a scene like this but now I have all the free time of summer and this place is like I said - 5 mins away i still havnt been there in almost a month. I guess there is some truth in the saying

"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."

Wanting is such a strong feeling. throughout winter i averaged 9-12 kms each day on my cycle through slush and cold from morning to 2am and I really wanted everything to just dissolve and slow down, and to see beauty about as well. Interestingly now that i have it on a 24x7 basis I hardly make any use of it. Apply this on a wider scale and this applies to all of us humans, even though these words wernt spoken by a human............

I have been a 3d designer/programmer for a while now, having started back in India in 1999 when i fired up my 1st render with POV rays for Win3.1 . 3d designing was a lot like programming back then, writing out a scene with lines of code and thats why i first took an interest in it. After moving to Australia for 2 years my highschool friend RaysOfLight got me into more serious and up-to-date softwares for communicating my emotions and immaginations. since then i have been very busy with Uni and just havent been able to make any recent designs, and my interest has now branched into photography as well.

never the less i try to make as much art as possible. i may be an engineer by study but art is also an important component of life i feel.

each piece here has either been inspired by something that stuck to my mind or in most cases has been nothing but a blank screen or the booring view-finder of my camera, just waiting to capture something worth remembring.
