We were sitting by the sea, it was around sunset, and the weather was somewhat pleasant..
Just as the sun was setting, everyone around us took their mobiles out to take a shot of the beautiful view, even my mom who's probably never used her mobile to take a picture before..
Now I'm a fan of photography, so naturally I snapped out my mobile too - in spite of the crappy camera that's attached to it..
Catch is, there was a giant "libra" statue blocking the view, and everybody around the table was trying to avoid it to get the best shot, and eventually, all ended up with the same picture.
Question is, where's the beauty in that? I bet even the photographer himself couldn't tell his shot out from the pile that was taken that day..
This was my shot: (remember, it's a crappy phone camera, AND it's zoomed in!)
I have 2 points that are obvious to mention, but bare with me:
1. The sun is the same, it captivated everybody at the moment of sunset, a few minutes earlier we were all trying to hide in the shade! many people moved into the indoors section to avoid the same sun that everybody now is mesmerized by its beauty..
2. The giant "libra" is an obstacle, but it made my picture unique.. I was the only one to use it as an advantage..
It's phylosophical I know, but isn't life just the same?

Hmmm my two points:
1. Ur camera phone sucks, or maybe it's just that u zoomed into the scene too much :P
2. U had too much free time on ur hands before u wrote this post in order to actually think deeply enough about this :P
But nice picture, although it would've been much nicer had it been of higher quality...
1. it's a friggin motorolla lol zoomed x3, go figure!
2. it was 7:00 am, now that I read the post it sounds laaaame.. the kind of post I hate to read on other blogs looool
Motorola phones are only good for 1 thing!! Looking nice... They're subpar at everything else!! Camera sucks, menu looks like it's from the 90s, text messaging is annoying, moving from screen to screen in the menu is slow! I'm so glad I sold mine hehe
I'm so glad I lost mine this morning lol (it was a gift :P)
on the phone thing. If your in to taking pictures the Sony ericcson K800i is the best! I have it and it's pics are amazing!
and on the philosophy thing I don't know if you realized it but you touched on something pretty deep.
Think of our perceptions of things around us as our perception of the sun. at the height of an event we may see things as harmful and/or to difficult to handle , Like the midday sun. But with time we can see that what we saw was in fact something of beauty so we race to embrace it, Like the sun set.
And for the other thing a person who enjoys the art of photography will always see the different as an opportunity.
I second Solar Alchemist's recommendation on the Sony Ericsson K800... I also use that phone and its lovely :)
check my gallery on DA, I got a shot of that same place with the scales ;-)
