Realm of photography - Wajih msawara

Because photography is not my profession, I do not adopt the title of a photographer; instead I proclaim myself as a PHOTOPASSIONATE. Since any career involves financial benefits that may affect the performance of the employee, and the only benefit I get from photography is Self Satisfaction, my performance does not in any way depend on materialistic revenues. Being a feeble expressive person and

untalented words user I believe that a photograph can replace a thousand words, it can illustrate what a human being is incompetent to describe. Living in one of the most beautiful places in the world where meeting the cedars of God and the saints’ valley is a daily grace, I always loved to share special and meaningful moments for the sake of the fairness in observation. I knew that the world’s distribution is inequitable and thus I searched for a way to make the savor of life accessible to the biggest amount of people. When somebody experiences an extremely happy moment, the first thing he wishes is to freeze the time to prevent this moment from running away. Have you ever thought that photographing a moment keeps it forever? As Susan Sontag says: “To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.”
Nothing is more enjoyable than mastering a photograph in a precise instant! Pressing the shutter is a moral decision taken in a part of a second. As per Ansel Adams “You don't take a photograph, you make it.” Therefore owning an expensive camera helps in improving the quality of a photo nevertheless it still requires thought before pressing the shutter. I don’t take pictures to sell a product, fulfill a project or report the news and events. I take pictures sometimes to create a possibility out of the impossible and sometimes to produce an impossibility out of the possible.
