Street photography is the art of exploring life as it happens in the everyday moment, capturing the lives of others with an instant while observing your own, its not about creating photo memories, its about dissolving one's self in the experience of coincidences. It is straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single hu …

In the pursuit of studying architecture, I always wondered what inspired me to do so? Was it the form, the function, the divinity of spaces within and without, the play of light against the darkness, the hidden structures underneath the beautiful skins of glass.. I think its was the mystery of Architecture itself. Like a universe, spaced within its own eternity, wrapped in it's own mass and boldly embodying the human identity itself- the need for space and spirit. Where's that kind of Architect …

Wikipedia states "a salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine taste and increase their knowledge of the participants through conversation. These gatherings often consciously followed Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate" ("aut delectare aut prodesse est"). Salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th century and 18th centuries, were car …
