blog 18

Like everyone said in the comments of my last blog, I am going to take one picture, describe it, and then go on to describe the story behind it- the things you wouldnt know from just looking at the picture itself. (I don't know what picture I'm going to use yet though...)

My reflections from there are going to be about why we take certain pictures and why we choose to leave some things out, as well as how this background information can change someone's perception of the photograph.

Hopefully I'll be able to find the time to write into all of this. Ha..

You bring up an excellent point in your theory about photographs. Photographs are really nothing more than a selective memory. Its a good memory whose existence is contingent on whether or not you want it to exist, whether or not you want it to be remembered. A picture is worth a thousand words, but is it really worth alot more words, or did you simply impose a limit? .....hmmmm
