The golden rule is work fast. As for framing, composition, focus-this is no time to start asking yourself questions: you just have to trust your intuition and the sharpness of your reflexes. ~ Jacques-Henri Lartigue
The thing I love about photography is that for just a moment, you can make everyone else look at the world the way you see it. ~Amy Spalding
Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.~ Garry Winogrand

I do read books but not review them and most of the time I forget to mention about books on my blog. Some books are hard to put down once we begin and then there are books which demand our time, either hard to read or make us ponder. I am glad to have got a couple of good books recently.
These include “Dancing in the mosque : an afghan mother’s letter to her son” by Homeira Qaderi. I have read a couple of books based on Afghanistan war but this book shows a new side of life of women in Afganistan. Next was “The last train to London” by Meg Waite Clayton. The Last Train to London is based on the true story of the Kindertransport ( Children’s Transport was a unique humanitarian rescue programme which ran for children (but not their parents) from Nazi-controlled territory between November 1938 and September 1939, the nine months prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. The United Kingdom took in nearly 10,000 children, most of them Jewish, from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and the Free City of Danzig) to rescue of ten thousand children from Nazi-occupied Europe and of real-life hero Truus Wijsmuller, a member of the Dutch resistance who risked her life smuggling these children. It was difficult not to think about the events and the people mentioned in then book. Some extra reading was just necessary.
