The Quest

Quest, journey, voyage are an inevitable part of a being. The ornate boots have a dream of a quest too. The path has its ups and downs, lows and highs. Every quest begins with a dream, a dream clear only to those who desire.

The Dream

The boots set out to realize their hazy dream. They cruised through arduous oceans.

The Journey

They tread on paths unknown, but always with a ray of hope.

The Hope

There were hardships, obstacles, Catch 22s, but they hanged on!

The Hardships

As the destination starts taking form and the dream materializes, the feeling of fulfillment knows no bounds.

The Fulfillment

  25. Ghazala Hossain · July 10, 2012

    This could be anybody’s story…! Loved the last picture most 🙂

    • ThoughtsUnrestricted · July 11, 2012

      Thanks a lot Ghazala…
      I am glad you interpreted the story the way you did 🙂

  26. passey · July 10, 2012

    There isn’t much to speak about the journey here. The tones in the pictures are the ones that happen at ‘auto’ settings… even the focus (for instance, in the one where that toy tower is shown) appears confused.

    The text surely doesn’t justify a story…

      I just want to make 2 things clear..the pictures were not clicked at “auto” setting and i know i am just an amateur photographer but i use my camera only in the manual mode..
      And sir, the focus in the last image was intentional…
      and again its just my thoughts, everyone need not agree 🙂
      But yes henceforth will strive to take more dynamic B&W images..
      Thank you so much for the comment..

  27. Apala · July 10, 2012

    Someone is Special

  30. Vikram Karve · July 10, 2012

    Truly lovely pictures

  31. Blawghh · July 11, 2012

    Sheetal, lovedddd the shoes ..the idea is so well executed …. especially those lil things hanging by the tree, you have a great story going on in those pics … anyone with an ounce of creativity would not need to read a word of prose to understand what your pictures are trying to convey ……

    • ThoughtsUnrestricted · July 11, 2012

      That is exactly the effect I had in mind 🙂
      Thank you so much! I am so glad you related with what I was trying to convey!

  32. K10 · July 11, 2012

    Beautiful work Sheetal! It is Oooozing with the reality of life! the composition, the thought, the creativity, aaah..i could go on and on….it speaks to me of hardships we face in our journey, and the subtle fact that there always will be detracts trying to pull you down….All the best!

    • ThoughtsUnrestricted · July 12, 2012
