A Thousand Words
I absolutely love photographs, more than any other kind of visual fine art. A picture is truly worth a thousand words and then some. What I love about a still image is the spark it creates in my imagination. I’m often captivated by a random image, my heart and mind spinning through a series of questions and possible answers – what time of day is it? what’s going on in there? what state of mind was the photographer in? what feelings do the colors or the light strike in me? These questions are so familiar when I see an image, as an exercise that I do, and have countless variations, that they spill out with instant answers – kind of like ripples across water. I’m envisioning myself in that picture, or as someone in that picture, in a scene or a moment, filling in the emotional textures from past memories and instances. Often times. late at night, I’ll go surfing across the web, searching for photos that strike a chord in me and downloading them whenever it’s possible.
I thought I’d share these tonight. I won’t get into commentary. I’ll let you have your own moment. Enjoy.
