A Man In His Logical Sense

A man who underneath felt like he was good for nothing, came across the one thing that changed his life and the meaning of it. At first he never realised he had such a gift, a talent, until people started praising his work. He's not a proud fellow, he doesn't think he's anything special, and wouldn't ever believe this was how his life was meant to go. His destiny, was to become a photographer. The land is young and he hasn't tested the ground; but by what we've all witnessed he most probably will end this path. Unless he discovers something else. Even if his work, currently turns to be a hobby, it'll always remain important.
Been told many a time I seem to know him better than anyone else around; this simply is down to being in one anothers company. Witnessing the different problems and seeing how he handles situations. He is logical. Likes a reason and to be able to solve. I believe this is why I truly understand why his camera is so precious. There's always a logical answer as to why the piece wouldn't work. One thing goes wrong, means this. There's a right and wrong.
His camera is a prize possession, something he values and understands. Looking through the lens is second nature. The world suddenly makes sense through a lens, a new reality, a fantasy world that you can edit to be anything you could dream of. It keeps him sane. Reason.
Something I know without a second thought. His work is one of the most important things in his life. No-one can ever try and replace that; and if anyone knew him wouldn't try to. Working hard, is the way to getting far in life, getting the respect and outcomes you want. He works so hard, testing many different techniques and styles out, and now. Has that style. The style that belongs to him, a style that you can instantly say is his.
You haven't seen the look in his eye when he's on a shoot. His world has come together; and doing something he enjoys. It's a moment I know he's happy. Walking around, testing shots, changing settings; seeing that hitch up of a smile spread his face. It touches his eyes. He could be anywhere in the world, with a camera in his hand, he doesn't care. This is where he feels most comfortable. His work is his land. A land of happiness and creativity. A land where his logic, is sense.

  3. I love the title! Grabs your attention!

    You describe a person so perfectly Imz - it'd be interesting to see how you'd do yourself.

  4. Adore the fact that you always seem to watch him so carefully, although, it's like you're not watching at all. It seems you know him inside out, where you could picture every crease in his face at that one moment, without looking, or with your eyes close.

    You really rate him high. Like Joan says; I bet he well loves you and this post! You do him a great credit, and to yourself.
    See you tonight!

    :)

  5. agreeing with Alice's Comment there (about his face). love your description, you know what he thinks aswell!
    like you don't have to think about what he's doing or saying; i can also bet if someone else trys to analyse him, you know exactly where they're going wrong? *cheeky smirk*
    I think he's lucky. Also bet it annoys him that he can't get away with much!

    anyway, great writing - keep going with more!
