The idea for the blog

About this photography project : " Things people (like-to/ dont-like-to) do "

People - they have always been very interesting to photograph, all different and all somehow the same. I think I do have visual mind, I do think visually which means I do understand things more easily when I see it visually. When someone speaks to me something, it first goes to my visual pat of mind and then to logic and so on. Sometimes its good, but sometimes its not.
I do like to photographing people, not just for the sake of photographs but I can remember them visually.
You might ask, remember people 'visually', you mean their face ?!?!
Yes, but also remember 'them', the things they do, visually, so its not just their face.
You might call it stereotypicing that person in visual form.

Other times I feel close to people when I have their photographs. Anyways, that is why most of us take 'photos'- Memories !! , isn't it ?

Couple of months ago I came up with the idea of capturing people around me with the skills / occupation / hobbies / profession they are involved in. Sleep, music, read, movie, sports, games, family, eat, pets, shopping, relax, communicate, dance, help others, and so on...

This is definitely not a new concept, taking portraits, story-telling type of pictures are there for really long time, but I want to do it, and that will be my own way. I will call this personal project as " Things people (like-to/ dont-like-to) do ".

The reason for combining people with the things they do is to have connection with themselves with the things they do. I am not sure how this will go , but I envision a series of pictures when I am doing this. And yes, there is no date/time schedule for this. I will do this when I have time and I meet people that interests me to have their pictures of. And I take the freedom to use the style I want to use. If you know someone doing this kind of project or if you are interested to be part of my series, please don't hesitate to contact me.
