Scars & Imperfections

While some people try to capture the beauty of an image through a lens or ink it down on a piece of paper, they tend to look for the flawless side and hide the imperfections that are in front of them.

They work hard on cleaning up the tones, softening wrinkles, and patching the scars.

Well I say keep the scars, look for those imperfections, and embrace them!


They are the book that reads out what experiences and stories that need to be told.

Happiness, anger, joy, pain, confusion, loss, and hope…
All are emotions that are wiped clean by our fear of showing what life has taught us and what time has marked on our being.

These imperfections are what make us unique and remind us of what we went through.

So when you grab your camera next time, or when you are sipping that cup of hot coffee trying to figure out the angle in which you are going to use that pen, please remember that a picture is worth a thousand words…so don’t wipe those words and cut a story short.

And I just hope that we can work as hard as some artists do in showing the imperfections that hide deep in our souls…the scars that are not on the outside ... but rather deep in our hearts!


Here's to our Scars and Imperfections,

Cheers 2 u all
