Paused moments
by Parviz Forghani01-Mar-2008
There are millions of moments of beauty which we ignore and pass by in our daily busy life: A perching house finch here, worrying eyes of a cat there, an old forgotten lamp, a cozy corner with "Arj" foldable chairs for sitting and sipping a cup of tea, green life protruding from a frozen pond, splendor of the wind in grass, colorful decay of fallen leaves on a pond, a rusty fountain, and on and on… Though I have paused some of these moments with my lens, but I have also paused when passing by these small beauties to remind myself how relaxing they are! I am sharing them with you hoping that we shall appreciate the ignored simple beauties of daily life. I hope you and the readers enjoy them.

by Dr. Bijan Gilani (not verified) on Mon Mar 03, 2008 12:01 PM PSTI have enjoyed your presentations, fittingly titled “Paused moments.” Is it not a wonder that simplicity can reveal so much about the complex? I suppose it is all about the way of seeing.

moments paused beautifully
by Monda on Sat Mar 01, 2008 09:34 PM PST11, 22, 24 and 31 are my favorites among many more. I actually like the lighting; it helps subjects stand out more dramatically. Hope to see more of your work here.
Enjoy them? I am in-love
by sb (not verified) on Sat Mar 01, 2008 08:26 PM PSTEnjoy them? I am in-love with you! Well not really but I could love you! I am available - are you? :-)
Need to work on lighting!
by My Two Cents (not verified) on Sat Mar 01, 2008 08:24 PM PSTYou have the interest and the eyes for being a good photographer. However, you need to work on your mastery of light.
Your photos are dark and come across as underexposed. Just like millions of snap-shots taken everyday by ordinary people.
A few in photography should push you in the right direction and make your photos jump out of the page.
Best Luck.
