What catches an eye need not be the rare....
Yes, Beauty in fact is in the factuality of existence and not in the rarity of it.
I purchased a Canon 500 D SLR last year and its use has changed the way I used to look at things. Well today I feel that prior to the purchase I was not looking at all...would start on a 100km journey and on reaching the destination would be carrying the same bad mood, to get rid of which I actually had planned this journey for.
But now all this has changed. Having purchased an SLR i needed to use it to get the due for the money i had shelled out for it, so i started to take it along in my car. Suddenly I started looking for what to shoot. Gradually over a period of time I realised that their is so much worth shooting and hence worth looking at and enjoying or finding meaning from even when one is on a small 2km journey. So much to look at and enjoy in our common world around. A lot of beauty.
Actually to tell you the fact...I started to wonder about beauty itself...what is beautiful?
And then one fine sunny day i realised, in fact all existence is beautiful...the only thing required is to find that angle through which it appears beautiful. Now its become a habit.... Whatever I see I tend to reflect on the way it can be seen as beautiful...and to tell you the truth as of now i hardly find it difficult anymore.....everything appears beautiful...AND THAT TOO OF ITS OWN, EFFORTLESSLY.
