Still life

Still photographs are out. Videos are in. Friends, prospective employers, partners all want to see the vibrancy of a personality, not a frozen mood clicked from wrong angles.

But this prompt took me back by two years. The lockdown had just started, and I enrolled in a charcoal drawing class online. 

Placing still objects at an angle where they throw the right kind of reflections, and then capturing it in black and white was a challenge. It changed the way I look at still objects forever.

unseen nuances
call for attention, attract
untrained eyeballs
