Your photography legacy!

The photographs you take for clients rightfully belong to them. These images fulfill their vision, needs, and expectations, often capturing moments or subjects that serve a specific purpose—whether for business, marketing, or personal milestones. However, the photos you take for yourself, the ones that stem from your own passion, curiosity, and perspective, belong solely to you. These are the images that reflect your emotions, experiences, and artistic journey. They are an extension of your vision, unfiltered by external demands. In the end, it is these personal photographs that hold the deepest meaning. They reveal where your heart was at different moments in time—what caught your eye, what moved you, and what you found worthy of preserving. These images become more than just photographs; they become your legacy, a visual diary of your existence and creativity that will outlive you, speaking for you when words are no longer possible.

ART OF SEEING GEOMETRY

  ART OF SEEING-GEOMETRY Most people look but never see. You only can see something that has connection to your awareness and consciousness. You need beautiful eyes to be able to see the beauty in the ordinary. The beauty of geometry, as seen by a mathematical mind, lies in its perfect harmony between logic and aesthetics. It’s the art of understanding the world through shapes, patterns, and spatial relationships, where every line, angle, and curve tells a story of balance and order.

It’s where abstract concepts become tangible, as points and planes come together to form structures that are both elegant and functional. The simplicity of a circle or the complexity of a fractal isn’t just pleasing to the eye; it embodies pri...

My answer will be iPhone 16 ProMax. It is lighter and has better camera and Artificial Intelligence. As of now, I am very happy to own iPhone14ProMax. It is a computer,telephone,radio,book etc. It covers all apsects of productivity, creativity and entertainment. A lady told me that she likes my photos and asked to recommend what camera to buy.
