Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 8 May 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
I had wanted to take a picture of an actual maze but couldn’t get to do it in time for today’s post. So I made up this simple shot instead.
While it’s true that it’s always an adventure to chose the “road less traveled”, like what Jen shared in my post yesterday, it can be frustrating too, as it can be just like entering into a huge maze not knowing when you’ll reach the other end!
And the time it takes to see the end of the maze can take awhile. It’s like what Elaine shared about how it can take up to minimum 5 years before you get to see the light at the end of the tunnel. She captured that well in the shot at her photoblog (Check out the photo on 7 May 2007). She makes great pictures!
Anyway, anyone care to take an adventure and try to figure out the path through this maze shown here? :)
Don’t give up too easily and you’ll soon find your way out. Same in life too.

@Sojourn: tks!
hmm...
Since my name already IS in this picture, I see no need to find the way out. I am a MAZE. In Germany we say "Der Weg ist das Ziel" (the path is your destination) Nice compo, kairospix!

@ma:ze: hey way cool that you are in the shot! :)

Again interesting photo and thought provoking words.

Really, kairospix, I like your stream here. Always so vivid colours and "details". I will try the maze later. First I have to get doped. ;)
8 May 2007 9:45am

@Titto: tks!
Beautiful capture, i love the maze within this shot. I saw your earlier shots and its been wonderful. Probably Singapore should be proud of you dear friend who is such creative photographer. :)
And i love the way you describe your shots, you really take time, unlike me who just levels a little and posts with a single liner. Too busy pal. :( I wish i could have more time with my camera though.

@Rahul: *blush* tks, you are very kind with your words - i've a lot more to learn to make great shots like you do! you're the MPM=Master Photo Maker :)
haha... i try to give some reflections to my shots as best as i can but it has been tough with a full-time job as i can understand hhow difficult it must be for you too...but keep those great shots of yours coming!

@alla: haha :) yes the green is pretty attractive isn't it? :) tks for coming by again. keep coming :)
When you compare this one with the previous one, then I for myself conclude that inward ways (previous one) are often sharp and clear, whereas outward paths are unclear and complicated. Nevertheless so many people prefer the outward paths, not able to direct their views to the inside (too sharp, too confronting, maybe?)
11 May 2007 9:30am
@Erik Tjallinks: wonderful thoughts there Erik, appreciate your reflections. yes looking inwards to see thr truths about ourselves can be too sharp for comfort and so many prefer to look for the "blame" else where out there...reminds me of a colleague who is like that, she can never be wrong, it's always because something or someone else's fault... :( tks for your visit and comments! :)
Hi ! Nice graphic and beautifuls colors ! Excuse my poor english. See you.

@Michel [une photo,vite, et reviens tard]: no worries about your English friend tks for coming by for a visit! :)
