सही समय। हम इसे कई नाम देते हैं: तकदीर, भाग्य, किस्मत, ईश्वर की मर्जी। हम इसे जो चाहें कहें, जिंदगियां इससे बदलती हैं और छोटे या बड़े स्तर पर हमारे नियंत्रण से बाहर आकर आकार लेती हैं। सही समय का यह बेहतरीन प्रभाव लोगों को नई स्थितियों में ऐसे पहुँचा देता है जैसे वसंत की बाढ़ किसी परिदृश्य को बदल देती है। यह जीवन की तरह ही अटल है।

फोटोग्राफी की खासियत यह होती है कि हर दिन एक नया दिन होता है, भले ही आप एक ही कहानी पर काम कर रहे हों, क्योंकि हर दिन आपको पिछले दिन की गलती सुधारने का मौका मिलता है, और उसे थोड़ा आगे ले जाने या थोड़ा पीछे खींचने की कोशिश करने का अवसर मिलता है।

कभी-कभी जब आप किसी काम में पूरी तरह से डूबे होते हैं, तो उस पल उसकी अहमियत पूरी तरह समझ नहीं पाते। 'गार्गोयल्स' इसका एक अपवाद था। उस वक्त मुझे पता था कि हम कुछ खास कर रहे हैं, कुछ ऐसा जिसे शायद दोबारा दोहराया न जा सके। पेशेवर रूप से आखिरकार ऐसा ही साबित हुआ।
