antwerp

this is about photography.

Remember the first time you were born?
the second time we are born is when we find out what makes you the happiest and you try to practice it for rest of your days on earth.
I found photography as a language which captures a moment as it is. the moment which might seem unreal and fraction, the one who captures witnessed and is able to share it to the world that how everything is beautiful around us, moments which teaches us how simple things are around us, the moments which are not simple to your eyes and the moments which makes you happy to share.
I saw!

when antwerp welcomed me to explore her

i reached antwerp from amsterdam on a train, as i make my way through the antwerp station i see its massiveness and diversity. As the morning rays touched the roof and peeked in side to say hello to me. I looked above !
I saw !
