early morning
Almost a year ago, I started documenting life in Zurich city, generally frequenting the same spots. Normally, while shooting on the streets, I have nothing in mind what I want to shoot. I just go out there and observe life. I take what is on offer. More often than not, I do find stories to tell through my pictures on what is happening there at that moment.
The following pictures are just a snapshot of people living in Zurich, going fishing out on Lake Zurich in early morning. It gets really cold out there, but these people are like meditating, they have so much patience, sometimes hours pass by without catching a single fish.
These pictures are a snapshot of life in Zurich, in early morning.
surrender
i believe a good picture should hold itself on its own without any description in its support. if it makes the viewer pause for a second, makes her curious to know what's going on, it may become an acceptable picture.
for the last couple of years, i have been taking pictures in its spontaneity, in the spur of the moment. Some series have been thoughtful, and planned where i simply documented the events.
it took me years to gather courage, to start taking conceptual photographs. it was an internal struggle, a fear of non-acceptance by the world.
so, i decided to start making photographs, for myself. and this is the first series with my daughter, Nikita. thanks to her, for helping me. i love you. click here for the series.
