A migraine patient
by Agnimitra Banerjee
I am a migraine patient. Most of the time I am suffering from headaches. But I have a keen interest in Street Photography and for this reason, to satisfy my thirst, recently I went to Bansberia – which was one of the main cities of ancient Saptagram in Hooghly, West Bengal – to observe the celebration of “Kartik Puja” with one of my friends. Here the Kartik Puja festival is celebrated like the Durga puja of Kolkata.
But again my ailment did not spare me for that day also.
When my migraine becomes severe, I couldn’t tolerate much light, sound or chaos. Everything becomes so messy in front of my eyes as it seems to me that every noise, every light and chaos gives me more and more headaches and for that, my eyes could not tolerate that thing and do not want to remain open and I start to feel very dizzy.
But still I wanted to escape from my sickness for that day by taking photographs. And after that day when I was looking through my pics, I found some ones of that day which I think are exact interpretations of my situation on that day.
I think those pictures can best depict how I was feeling, my mood, and my physical situation on that day at that place.
Thus these pictures become my close-to-heart photographs of the street for that day.
I am Agnimitra Banerjee, from Madanpur village in Nadia district in West Bengal, India. I am taking up photography from my deep interest in art and I want to express myself through my photographs. I also want to show the audience what I actually see or feel at any given moment. For these photographs, I used my mobile phone Asuszenfone Max Pro M2.
