Filter

Batu Bolong Beach - Bali

One event. One picture. But told, seen, written in various storylines under the sun. It's because there is this thing in life called filter.

A photograph. 

No matter how bad it is, when seen through the fittest filter, it becomes noble. And no matter how pretty a photograph is, seen from an unmatched filter, it becomes rather....... disturbing. It is not a matter of which filter is used, it is a matter of understanding the fact that it may not be the real thing you are looking at right now. 

Some pictures come out of the filter of hurt, some come out self pity. Some from love. Some from joy.

As Mark Twain once wrote: "the common eye sees only the outside of things, and judges by that, but the seeing eye pierces through and reads the heart and the soul, finding there capacities which the outside didn't indicate or promise, and which the other kind couldn't detect." 

with love,

Sudi
