I am incredibly intrigued by the thoughts, comparisons & explanations this guy produces from these simple images. While I am by no means educated enough, studied enough or remotely qualified to properly analyze any kind of photo, I thought it may be interesting to go through my albums old and new and find obscure and interesting pictures. Pictures that tell a story, have a story to be told, are ironic, symbolic or just plain odd.
I'll share what I know, what I think and what I like about each photo and I invite all of YOU to comment and share your opinion, your impression and your thoughts. It will be especially interesting to watch how our combined input and variety in perception, observation and connection to the pictures will truly bring the image to life.
...and it's a great exercise for our minds!
First Up:
my Uncle 'Who' and his homegrown eggs who get personalized messages if they are gathered on a special or noteworthy day. The egg on the left, his 52nd Wedding Anniversary and the egg on the right, the first day of the new year.
- the plaid shirt, swatch watch and worn hands scream Americana.
- i wonder what the emphasis {quotes} on the 30 represents?
- i hope the "from" on the right egg indicates a certain hen; that means he names them and THAT is adorable.
what do you see?
I love that the face of his watch is on the inside of his wrist...how ergonomically correct:) Also, the way that he holds the eggs is interesting. He holds them with his palms facing upward, as if he doesn't want to break the eggs. Even so, he uses his opposable thumbs and his forefingers (the strongest digits, capable of breaking an egg) to steady them instead of letting them rest in his palms...like he knows his own strength. It's funny how the "Big 52" was almost a typo-like he wrote the wrong anniversary date!
ReplyDeleteLa,congrats on the sidesite, I had no idea you had this strong visual calling. I would love to see this photo but it's not coming through on this side, just a little box with a question mark. Anything that can be adjusted? Lisa
