In an effort to energise myself on one of these uncharacteristically dull summer mornings, I took a quick trip around Temple Bar with my camera.
This woman perfectly captured a dichotomous duo of ennui and expectation, which reflected a similar feeling I was having towards my own life at the time.
I’m quite drawn to opposing truths and the washed-out sky and matching smoke compelled me to take this photo.
My name is Kmla Sharma, and while I work as a software engineer, I have been pursuing a passion for photography for the last five years or so.
I enjoy making art and using photography as a medium for storytelling in the quotidian.
