Is there any ‘observer effect’ also with the frames
viewed by a photographer?
Even the non-living things,
utterly useless scraps,
come back to life
to make the frames more alive and significant.

Frames of life criss cross each other, always.
Sometimes we have to cross them knowingly.
How joyful to see them supporting each other beyond logic,
how wonderful to see them meaningful in an unpredictable way,
or invoking a rebellious silence!

These frames were clicked from the same spot
on different days, and months apart.
One is free to experience the changing frames
in a bigger frame of changelessness, or
to focus on the frame of changelessness
with a number of frames continuously changing.

And, at the end of the day,
am I free from the perceptions,
like the reflex mirror,
sitting near a merciless shutter?
