I've always loved looking at pictures, and I've always envied people who have managed to be in the right place at the right time to snap that jaw-dropping and awe inspiring vista.To me photographers are poets, storytellers, and artists. To be able to tell a story or give character to still life, they have to have a bit of a philosopher in them as well.
I've just been so in love with my camera lately that I must have clicked away over a thousand pictures in the last one month. It's been a lot of help in taking my mind off of certain issues. I also feel when I am with my camera I become more observant which helps bring out a poet, an artist, and somewhat of a philosopher in me. And also what's so wonderful about photography is that it is a language in itself which is understood by everyone regardless of their ethnicity, vernacular etc. It speaks a silent language of emotions which is inbuilt in each and everyone of us.
I will end it here and hope those who visit my blog will take some time to go through my pictures and spend a little time with me in my memories (see that's the closet philosopher I was telling you about.. ;) ).

hey try n really (and i mean absolutely and truly) capture whats in the minds eye... i will check out ur picasa thing. black n white is, as plain yet so eloquent and true, the best form of unexpressed "knuckle crackin"
I'll keep that in mind for next time..
And regarding the B/W pictures, i think the following quote says it all ...
"When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!" ~Ted Grant
