10 minutes at a beach

"My photograph may be yours indeed, In framing and tone, If in its composition you can read, A music of your own; If in its pale woof you can weave, Your lovelier design, Then my dear friend, It is more yours than mine. I'm but a prompter at the best; Crude cues are all I give. In simple stanzas I suggest - It is you who make them live. Yours is the beauty that you see, In any photograph I take; The magic and the melody, It is you, dear friend, who make. Yea, by the glory and the gleam, The loveliness that lures Your thought to starry heights of dream, The photograph's yours. " I am grateful to Robert William Service for writing, Your poem. In it, he elucidated his thoughts about his poems, which are in-agreement to the way I feel about my photographs. This series deals with the concept of time. It consists of 8 diptychs, 16 different photographs. All photographs were shot within 10 minutes at a beach in Goa, India. Main emphasis is on the things that change (like water) and things that do not (like sand). Moreover, the moment of 2 couples in this series is next to nothing whereas the world around them did change a lot. The format is sort of panoramic, which is a parallel for the shoreline as it seems never ending.
