Black and white photography
An art form for a connoisseur
Aesthetics of understanding
Of the clarity of line
That plays hide and seek
So much resemblance
To the wisdom of time.
In seeking is the blending
Of reflections dissolving
Ever so hard to pin down
Faded visions blurred memories
Reminding of colour through our senses
Perspectives differ in the past recalled
Comparisions translucent in the semi presence.
An important feature
Are the shades of grey
Areas masked and marked,
Blurring to focus
Uncaliberated and undeliberated
Between the lines
Adding enigma
Surreal feelings
A take back in time
Of notions in nostalgia.

Are you a photography connoisseur? The pictures which you have used in this post are nostalgic and evoked some of my past memories when we used to visit my granny’s home. All this is treasured memorabilia.

Totally likewise about the pictures … the memories are of those times indeed … the gramaphone , the swaying of the coconut trees in the shimmering moonlight.
About photography … well havent explored much technically as yet … although at times the aesthetics of a great photo capture appeals to my sensibility to evoke a verse or two.

Thank you Kamal for liking the poem. I do find there is much understated elegance as much as the enigma in the era of black and white photos Don’t you think so ?
