The Lens Affair: my true self

He said he loved my face and that was it for me and we have been going at it for a while. It's fun but most of all its enlightening. The lens doesn't lie, it shows you what you really can't see , things you refuse to see, and most importantly i guess what you weren't looking for, your true colours and truth . It's either you love it or delete it but you have to live with it; cry a river and get over it if you have to but certainly DEAL with it!!
With the time i have had with him, my dear lens has been true to me, brutal if you ask me. Whoever said truth hurts did not lie my friend, it does but when you face it, deal with it, its awe-wait for it- some!!! its beautiful

the object:Charles Mon-tage-gh.tumblr.com

the subject: identity

the writer: canon D600 (T3i Rebel)







I was talking and looking out of my office windows when he took this. i was there, the moment was nothing too special, we were talking about a subject i was passionate about but it was a simple moment till the lens caught it and it was worth more than a 1000 words
"what is freedom? the non-existence of bars and borders or the illusion that they do not exist." this comes to mind every time i look at this picture. someone asked what i was doing in prison when he saw this picture, in reality i was a free bird standing in front of a barred window; to keep out or to keep me in?.
We see what you want to see but truth be told nothing is ever really what it seems and no one is truly free.


Asa's Mr. Jailer keeps playing in my mind...

Am in chains you’re in chains too I wear uniforms, you wear uniforms too
Am a prisoner, you’re a prisoner too Mr Jailer


I have fears you have fear too I will die, you sef go die too
Life is beautiful don’t you think so too Mr Jailer!
