Quiet Stories
Quiet Stories - it's a different ball game. It makes you think about photographs not just as a medium to publish your captured images, but also to reflect on your thoughts as you took the photograph. That's exactly what the caption of Quiet Stories in Facebook goes as:
"Every picture tells a story.
Actually it tells two.One for the universe to hear and the other, a quiet one, is told only to the picture taker.
Please upload your pictures and tell us its quiet story."
What initially started as Calden's own photo blog, was also created as a Facebook group sometime later by him. The concept was to gather such stories from people from all over. And it was an idea which was very well received. The group in Facebook has seen a tremendous reception to the concept, with close to 200 members and close to 170 photo-stories in just a few months. There are stories from old, married, single, men, women, corporate workers and students alike - people from all spheres of life. There are photos taken from high end Digital SLR's to crude mobile phone cameras - all with one purpose: to tell a quiet story. The only condition being that the photographs should be original content, and each photograph must have a story.
Now, responding to the growing popularity of Quiet Stories in Facebook, a totally new blog has been built and dedicated to Quiet Stories where some of the better stories are put up for an even wider Internet audience - typically, those who don't use Facebook.
Take a look at the Quiet Stories, which hosts photo-stories not just from the various corners of India but now, from it's members from across the globe as well. Take a tour, there will definitely be a story there for you as well.
Calden Basi is an avid photographer, and a brilliant writer. Besides the Quiet Stories blog, he also blogs here and here.
