its not dark
I have a weird
attraction towards old broken structures. Some times i think am i the only one?
But am not n i know this from the pictures and art work i see in a lotta
magazines and internet. But is my attraction limited to the picturesque ability
of the structures? There is an old broken house on my way to home. Every time i
see it i have this urge of getting off my bus and exploring it. There is this
old building on the way to my native and i have had the same urge, i remember it
as clear as if am standing in front of it although i visit my native twice or
so a year and see that building for a fraction of a second. So may be for a few
seconds every year.
There is some
thing about these structures that fascinate me, it seems like they have a story
to tell, of their patience, of their strength that came from witnessing all the
worldly consequences. But some times they are just pretty to look at. I know you don’t understand when i say ‘pretty’.
They are broken, old and covered with moss and filth and yet i find them
beautiful rather that’s why i find them beautiful. The old arch window frames
or so much more vivid than box windows with waxed glass. They talk about an end
unlike newly painted building. End is so not scary. End is certain; predictable
unlike the start there is no anticipation no anxiety rather a strong sense of calm.
I like the ends; beginnings are just too much work. Sometimes you make me think
that may be am dark, but just because you can’t see what i see don’t make me
dark, it can rather mean that you are shallow.
When you have won
all the fights that there are to be won you are glorious but when you have won
a losing battle you are the ultimate hero. That is what am interested in documenting, so
yup i like clicking old broken filthy structures.
i wanted to know more. not satisfied!
