“A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all
things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.” – Leonardo da
Vinci
I have been chewing on Da Vinci’s words since camera became my third
eye. I believe photographer is a painter. I paint using light on the canvas of
darkness. I try to take that extra step to add substance, texture to images. I
let images reveal their character.
I love nights, love the atmosphere after dusk. I enjoy wandering in
darkness – the silence, the wind, the smell, the thrill and anxiety. I try to
peer beyond darkness, life that hides behind the absence of light.
On assignments, or on daily grind, I keep all my eyes open, including
the third one. I take pictures, I learn, I live.
