Taking snapshots of life
April 21st, 2024
I took this pic while rushing to the train yesterday. I loved how the composition looked, the tube in the foreground giving depth, and the person in the background framed by the concrete and the cables surrounding them. My eyes snapped while the escalator was taking me away from that moment.
I was questioning whether I should take out the camera or not, but then I just took the phone and snapped this moment.
Often wandering through cities, I see moments like that and miss the moment, thinking shall I take the camera from my bag?
I make the mistake of being more concerned about the tool with which I take pictures instead of capturing a moment that will never be in front of me as it is. At the end, phone, camera, film, whatever - the important is to catch that snapshot of life.

Mostly known as a product designer, I find passion in telling stories through photos and words. I love wandering, capturing the essence of people and places. There’s joy for me in observing everyday life and freezing moments—whether through my camera or my writing. I'm naturally drawn to visually pleasing compositions, mindful living, and anything that nurtures personal growth and spirituality.
