The human clock

Hundreds of clocks in laboratories around the world set and capture universal time accurate to one second within 3000 years. They make it virtually impossible for time to slip away from us again.

But perhaps the best timekeeper is the human heart, which measures not the passing of time but the quality of time we've spent. If it's empty, you need to get away from the clock and focus on taking, sharing and losing track of a little time.

All Hearts Dream

The heart is the sleeping beauty and love the only kiss it can't resist.
Even as eyes lay open wide, there is a heart that sleeps inside,
and it's to there you must be hastening, for all hearts dream,
they dream only of awakening.

- Nicholas Klein

Almost with you

"Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who's in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It's like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven't seen in a long time."

- Kafka on the shore, Haruki Murakami

Sometimes a subject is so dramatic, it is very hard for the photographer not to take a good picture.

But, a photographer chooses his subjects, and that, too, is an important part of having a great eye. So having a great eye is not only about composition but the instinct to find good subjects to photograph. That is the most underrated skills of a good photographer; more important than taking a good picture is to find a good picture to take. 

Of mice and men

I met this man on the train on my way home. He's a security guard who has finished his shift. When I took his picture, the people behind were amused because his pet mouse(rat?), Vermin was playing peekaboo. He travels with Vermin to work everyday. Beats human for company.
