Phonography

Phonography! I’m addicted to it! The pen maybe mightier than the sword, but it’s pictures that speak a thousand words. Talk time? Who’s worried about talk time when a picture can do the trick? I’m always fascinated by the rich spectrum of colours, images and moments that can be captured on my cell phone. Armed with my mobile there’s hardly any moment when I’m immobile. People, places and exotic locales; you’ll find all this and more on my screen.

I jump out of the car on deserted highways to capture the green pastures around paddy fields, hillocks, hutments and country roads to come back home and wonder at those amazing places, far from the madding crowds. I don’t miss the opportunity to capture the myriad hues on the sky formed by the various shapes of moving clouds.

When it comes to instant images and capturing rare expressions, it’s my mobile that always stands me in good stead. I have a thousand rare moments captured for eternity. Whether it’s my little niece and her little tricks or my smart adolescent son and his passion for sports—all those wonderful moments are captured on my camera. A single click and the pictures find their way to facebook, gmail and what have you. Instantaneous. The response from those who see these pictures is instantaneous too. Why write long letters and talk incessantly, when at the click of a button, I have that magic moment on my screen! And the pictures travel the world over, thanks to the Internet.

With such rare moments captured on my mobile, is it any surprise that I get prizes in various contests when I upload a picture or two. It’s hardly surprising then that I’m addicted to phonography. Why shouldn’t I, when I stand to gain so much and enjoy every moment of it too!
