Do you ever look at a photograph, drinking in the very minutiae* of it. Drowning in the details, thinking about what you see. Wishing you were there, or closer, or the image was bigger. Or is it just me? Images like this are powerful to me, they tell a story.
There are so many stories on the internet these days, good, bad, indifferent. Entertaining, shocking, warning us, teaching us, telling us.
We see so much of so many peoples lives in this fast paced, media crazy world we live in .... or do we? We see what they want us to see, the posed pouting selfies, the possessions they want us to know that they own, the clothes that they say that they wear all the time. We read about the day they have had, the meal they have just eaten ... are eating, the holidays they have been on, or are on at the moment. We feel we are in there, involved, part of something that in reality we are not. It can be good, entertaining even ... but it's not real life.
As long as we know that it's fine.
Me … I'll stick with the simple images.
The ones that just capture a moment in time that was worth capturing. No fancy lights, no props, no little message underneath telling me if I want to own one of these there is a 10% discount code for one day only.
