A long time ago, I have heard someone saying, "Trees do not talk, but they listen". This saying thus convinced me how trees are like actual, vivid being just like us, who can sense everything around them, even though they can never talk. Until one day, this belief has changed, while I was walking in a park (seeking relief from the school pressure). Submerged in an ocean of trees, I stopped for one of them. While it looks more usual than any other trees I have seen before, when I turned my view up side down and see from the bottom, it amazed me. Its spiraling stem, with perfect golden ratio, dancing, breathing, and reaching towards the sun, lifted faint ripples in my Walden Pond. Didn't they say that trees do not talk, react? Photography, in a different perspective, offers me this chance to capture the whisper of nature's beauty.

To me, creativity is the talent to turn nonsense, chaos, into beautiful orders. It's negative entropy. While I like all kinds of art, photography allows me to apply creativity while looking at this world through different perspectives. This creativity, encourages me to discover the beauty that the nature conveys.
