A Thousand Reasons: shadows

"The sharp knife of a short life
I've had just enough time..."

- "If I Die Young" The Band Perry

I see Beauty in many things. And like the ghosts that only speak to you if you notice them, they tell me wondrous tales. With my camera and my thoughts, I captured these as faithfully as I can to share with you. And by doing so, they gave me the reasons. And though the thousand reasons may not all be sweet and some indeed bitter; they are still reasons to live. Come to think about it, that is Life, isn't it?

In Praise of Shadows.

I've had just enough time to... sing the praise of shadows.

Taken in my favourite hotel in the historic city of Malacca, Malaysia

If you understand shadows

You will appreciate its silence

Its floating softness

Its fleeting forms

That tells a richer story

Than sharp edges

If you appreciates shadows

You will wait with patience

For it to reveal

The nature of its dances

That takes you dancing along

Through their illumination

The object is true

The shadow is not

If you believe that

You live a world only of light

And have no reason

To praise the nature of shadows

Its Beauty Speaks For Itself.

I've had just enough time to... appreciates the beauty of my orchids.

Taken of the orchids in my garden.

There is never any need to praise the beauty of an orchid,

Its beauty speaks for itself,

Silently and elegantly.
