Portraits

Most of my portraits are not formal situations; they are found situations.

 

Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it - Pablo Picasso

A portrait is not made in the camera, but on either side of it - Edward Steichen

The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt. - Henri Cartier-Bresson

There is no single form or style of portraiture. Portraiture means individualism and as such means diversity, self-expression, private point of view. The most successful images seem to be those which exist on several planes at once … - Peter Bunnell

Going to School

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. - Nelson Mandela

 

It’s in school that we make our first friend, have our first crush, compete to excel, hope for places in the sports teams, eating lunch boxes during classes, and learn our first lessons about life.

The two best days of school, the first and the last.

He who opens a school door, closes a prison. - Victor Hugo

When I say I miss school, I mean my friends and the fun. Not the studying part.

Lovely times of life will not return back forever...but, lovely relation & missing memories of friends will stay in the heart forever..

Formal education will make you a living; self education will make you a fortune. - Jim Rohn

 

At Work
