Hey,
I felt seriously lost as
soon as I read the post by Briana. All I could think was, "There is
nothing that reminds me of my home here. Everything is different, everything is
new, even though this is my 4th year in the city." But as I looked around
more intently i suddenly noticed small things that did remind me of home.
Cotton candy all time
favourite since childhood till today.
As kids me and my siblings use to play on these carts used
in our office for carrying heavy loads. We use to all gather and sit on them as
one of us pushed the cart off a slope with speed.
This tree reminds me of all the times I had climbed a tree
in our farm back home and used its hanging branches as swings.
These two little girls reminded me of me and my cousin
sister who were inseparable as kids and did everything together. Both of the
girls have hair which was similar to ours and that bright back all the memories
I have with her.
Dad use to always carry me around as a kid in crowded places
and I felt oddly comfortable in his arms as oppose to my mother's.
We have our festival of Paryushan and I miss being part of
it because I am in Mumbai. There is a Jain temple right next my PG here that
celebrates it and takes me back to my roots.

Like you pictures Tejasvi... After seeing these pictures specially the one of a girl with a father it reminds me of the special bond i shared with my dad. I always wanted to be with him.
Can relate to Your Pictures :)
Tejasvi:
Going looking for one's childhood in a new place is not easy. But at the moment of finding glimpses, how do we maximise that opportunity? Did you take just one photograph each of the various pictures you posted? Let's see the others if you have them. Also, be very aware of the background when looking at your subject. what do we lose or gain?

Sorry just saw the post today.I did click extra pictures in different magnifications, I will carry them to class next time. I think the background did help in giving a better perspective to a few photographs but might not have worked so well in all of them. Can we take this up in class please?
Thanks.
