Curiosity


“I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.”

- Eleanor Roosevelt

I totally agree with Eleanor's quote. Without curiosity, we wont do anything it is the same as death. No worries, we all have curiosity in us only some time we won't know even it comes to set us thinking. =)



















To toggle my curiosity and open my mind to anything right now is IMAGES, as it can be visually see so I look into photography. I came across this combine photos of windows which is interesting to look at and set my mind too wanting to know what the photographer wants to portray.

Title: An open and shut case?
























Ed Buziak (the photographer)
short info of him:
a self-taught photographer and monochrome printer who, in 1974 at the ag
e of 30, took a leap of faith into the tough professional world of photography. Even before that, on his graduation day in 1967 at The Regional College of Art,
Manchester, he realised, rather late in his studies, that he wanted to be a photographer, not the interior designer he had trained to be.


He explained:
Just as the window or aperture of the camera lens is the selective eye of the photographer, so the windows of homes, offices, cars and aircraft provide selected views of the world. When the two are combined - to make images of windows - very different viewpoints and views can be created.

Windows can be looked at, looked through and, depending on how high above the ground, looked into. But most of all, because that is their main visual function, they are looked out of. When composing images of windows the results will always be very different from inside than out.
