When you spend the entirety of a party behind your camera you are not likely to end up in any photos. You see the blog entries with photos you took and realise that there is absolutely no sign that you were ever there.

And sometimes, when you spend the entirety of a party behind your camera... You might as well not have been there. Face to face conversations generally work better when there isn't 50mm of glass, plastic and metal between you and your subject... No, Friend.

It may be an inherent flaw in the duties of the photographer or it might merely be my own foolish desire to document a party just so I can put it up on my Facebook and tell the whole world what a cool party I went to.

On the topic of inherent flaws, perhaps that's why camera bags look so damn ugly. Nylon camera bags never look good with a shirt and tie.

So drop the camera and get your ass on the dance floor. Be a part of something and know you really were there. Fuck the photos. Photographs fade, memories don't.

Unless you become like... Senile or something...
The Who?
I'm Dinesh, Din or Dinny depending on who you are and when in my life you met me. I wanted to be a Fighter Pilot when I grow up, but that was when I was growing up. I'm studying, rather, attempting to study to become a Journalist. Preferably a photojournalist. Oh I love photography. In fact, now that I think of it maybe being a photographer for National Geographic is preferable. See, you learn something about yourself when you write an about me section. I like music. I've listened to it all my life. From Bryan Adams when I was a kid to Arctic Monkeys and Interpol now. Hell, I'm trying to learn to play music on Guitar. Yes, the ever so cliche "I wanna be a rockstar" dream that we're better off forgetting. I had no social life till I was 16. Now I have one and Mass Communication is slowly strangling it. Damn. Such a waste, doing a communication course while running out of people to communicate with. This is, to the best of my knowledge, who I am. But hey, what do I know?
