I'm a guy who loves photography. I love clicking pictures of almost everything that gets my attention. Sometimes, if I cannot click the picture at the right time, I capture it in my memories. I feel photos are memorable if they can help you recollect the precious moments you've shared in that period. #Expressions - Yes, that's what create a beautiful picture. And who better than cute little children are good at giving expressions. The innocence they display is so heart-melting.
Talking about this, I remember the time when I was trying to click a cute little girl child at the airport. That girl was hardly 3-4 year old, golden hair - round face - honey-colored eyes - and was wearing a full sleeve hooded jacket, which made her look completely adorable. She was with her mother waiting for their flight I suppose. The way she ate her breakfast sandwich made me smile - she was biting the bun and the mayo/sauce was coming out from the other end and dripping on her jacket. She was looking at me while happily eating the sandwich and smiling back, unaware of the fact that she had designed the jacket with the mayo/sauce. Soon, her mom noticed it and made her realize what she had done. Her mom wiped off the sauce with the tissue whatever she could. Seeing this, that innocent girl also started wiping her dress, but with saucy hands. I could now hardly control my smile and laughter. I could not understand their language - maybe they were speaking Russian or German or whatever. But I could relate to each and every action of theirs.
After a few minutes, she was done eating and her mother was busy reading a magazine. Suddenly, this girl got up from the seat and went running to the glass barricade from where she saw an airplane about to land. She was so excited and shouted "Plane....." (Lol, all I could understand was "Plane" - other things were not known to me as the language was completely alien for me). Both her hands on the glass pane, eyes and mouth wide open - continuously jumping up and down. I knew from her expressions that she is seeing the airplane for the first time. One look at the plane and then at her mom, then again the plane. She kept doing this again and again, I guess she was wanting her mother to enjoy and relish the excitement of seeing the airplane like she did. Her mother simply smiled and waved back at her. She kept on looking at the plane until it completely halted after landing on the runway. All this while, when I was observing this girl, I had forgotten to click her photograph. As I was about to remove my camera, there was an announcement for the airplane and that cute girl had to leave along with her mom. Although I couldn't click her picture, I had captured her innocent joy of seeing an airplane for the first time with my eyes.
Another incident was when I was travelling in China. Again here, a 3-4 year old girl was with her grandmother, holding hands together at a park. There were many pigeons on the floor. This girl was happy and excited to see the pigeons that she decided to catch them. She untied herself from the hands of her grandmother and ran after the pigeons. The pigeons used to fly away as the girl approached - this happened each and every time - still the girl had no loss of motivation - she kept on running everywhere. For me, this was pure #innocence - the playful nature of children which makes the scene look so cute. This time I wasn't late and I got my camera on her and could get this beautiful click to which you can relate exactly what I'm saying. (image below)
These are just 2 of the innumerable incidents I've encountered. In both the incidents, you can clearly observe that first incident - I had to describe each and every detail to make the scene clear enough for you to understand.. whereas in the second incident - It was easy for me to just write a few lines as the picture is more than enough to describe my story. So, now you know, how easily a simple picture can convey a thousand emotions without the need of a single word.
What I actually wanted to convey from these incidents is that #innocence is present in each and every one of us right from the time of our birth. Some of us, lose it very soon in the race of growing older. While some, carry it with them wherever they go. Both kind of persons may become successful in their respectful lives, but there will always a beautiful difference in the way these persons affect the lives of others around them. The person carrying the innocence with them will always connect with the souls of people around, while the other would fail to realize that there's a soul. I would say that each one of us has the innocence - some try and hide it while some cannot hide it even if they try to. When we all are a child, there's no barrier of societal norms and no restrictions over our thoughts. We think and speak whatever comes to our mind - without the fear of what people or society would feel. However, as we grow older, the education, the learning and our experiences make us hide the #innocence which we all have within us. I feel this innocence needs to come out often so that we learn to live our lives happily. Innocence is like pure water - it tastes the best only when it's pure.
