"A camera is a save button for the mind's eye"

- Roger Kingston

You know that moment when you look at an image and you're bombarded with a myriad of emotions, feelings, and thoughts?

That's the power of a single photograph.

And the interesting part? It's all very subjective.

No single photo will mean the same to you as it does to the next person. Even the person who snapped the photograph would've done so with their own emotions and moods at play.

If it's not told to you, then you can never really know what the real story is behind a photograph. Why was it snapped? What happened leading up to and after that snap? What was the photographer thinking or feeling? What was going on in the subjects' life? The observers' life? What was going on, period?

There's so much we don't really know and yet somehow we can all connect in our own way to an image. How?

It's just how our mind works.

A photograph has the ability to convey a wide range of emotions and feelings without using a single word. It can tell a story. But that story is shaped partly from what is seen and partly from the person seeing it. What is seen will be a reflection of the person looking. It will reflect their own experiences, memories, and whatever emotions those thoughts provoke.

Different aspects of a picture like colors, objects, subjects, scenery, place, and/or angle of the shot, may provoke different feelings. They cause a reaction brought forth by a trigger and something remembered. We feel the sensation of being transported through timeless hues. Then we connect with the captured moment.

It's amazing how even in the stillness of a picture we can see life. Photographs are a way to preserve memories. We can capture a moment and cherish it forever emotions and all. It acts as reminder for things past.

So what do your timeless hues show?

Photos are great and we all love them. The struggle for a good selfie is real! The memories captured by pictures are precious. The impact of seeing things visually through pictures which are not in our reach evoke an excitement about the whole wide world.

The literal definition of photography is the art of capturing and processing photographs. The word "photography" was taken from the Greek roots meaning "drawing with light". The invention of photography dates back to early 18th century.
One of the first attempts to capture an image was by Thomas Wedgewood in the year 1800, using light-sensitive substance. Due to the substance used in the process, the image darkened and gradually faded.


Picture paints a thousand words. We've all heard of it and have experienced the awestruck moment when you see a beautiful photography. So let us give you a throwback of some of the stunning images we've come across and let you interpret what it means to you.



Taken in 1846, below is the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. Almost 2000 years old building was captured beautifully by the Rev. Calvert Richard Jones. The detailing of the photograph leaves one wondering at the vision of the photographer.


If you're a Londoner, you may recognize the below photograph. Or maybe not? It is 100 odd years old, after all. Among many other things, London is famous for its ever efficient underground tubes.
The photographer of the picture seems to be unknown but it was taken in the year 1898. The Central Line has come a long way from this picture and hence; the much deserving throwback.


Australian photographer, Sam Hood named the below picture "Soldier's Goodbye and Bobby The Cat". Do we need add a caption here? Na, we'll let the picture do the talking ☺️
Captured in just the perfect moment is one of the two things Canada is famous for.
Sidney Crosby and the ice cold winter! Obviously, we're not yet so lucky as to have met Mr. Crosby, so we have to make a do with the cold. The Cold never bothered us anyway, did it?


Freedom is a word defined by millions of people but what does it really mean? Being able to show others what you are capable of? Or just prove to yourself your own worth? We say, the latter. And perhaps, the below picture is painting those unspoken words. Fly away at the time of sunset, without any care in the world!


The clouds are clear, and so are the paths to our destination. So what is it that creates the chaos in our life? Life is not complicated. We make it complicated. Let's take a moment to savour the beauty of this picture and remember, everything will work out in its destined time.


So we leave you with these imagery and hope you would like to share some of your favourites memories with us.

Until next time..

Ah, a brilliant thread at hand! This is just so beautiful!
Even I wish we'd have the power to decipher the stories behind each pic!
A very well-written and well-decorated (a sanding ovation to the printer) piece!
Love it!
