Reflecting on the Mtkvari
The scenic Mtkvari River runs across some of the oldest and most historical sections of the Georgian capital of Tbilisi. The moment I rode by its banks, I knew that I needed to capture the scenery in photos. My first visit to Georgia in late 2010, however, was too hectic and my Georgian colleague’s driving gave me very few opportunities to do so. It was only on my second visit in early 2011 when I was finally able to spend a few hours on its banks on a fine sunny morning. These resulting images were posted in the “Mirrored” and “By the River Mtkvari” series in February this year.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
Nice series indeed…
