A Random Story

In life, human activities are often self-regulated. 

Each person has a mind of their own and they do what they please. And somehow, some of them converge in approximately the same area at the same time, and when the photo is taken, an unexpected, un-orchestrated story emerges. 

Individually, they have not thought of becoming a part of the larger narrative. But together, they are! 

In this picture, each character is going about their own business. The street photographer is not the director but an observer. He does not tell the characters what to do. He merely watch, waits, and snaps frame after frame. He does, of course, works at framing the shots and position as best he could. But I think that's about all. 

The camera does the rest. What emerges from each photo is a random story.

When you take time with each photo, more questions than answers will arise. But that, to me, is the beauty of it all. To draw a response of thinking and feeling - a personal and meaningful reflection. The story forming in your mind will be different from mine, and that's beautiful too!
