The power of pictures

So as you faithful visitors of my blog have probably noticed, i do like taking pictures. Even though my camera's not some super high tech Digital SLR or anything like that, or that i don't use fotoshop, i still have a fascination with pictures.

Pictures. Its about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. Its all a matter of focus. What are you looking for?





By the way, the 2 fotos above were taken along the same road 2 min apart. It was just a matter of perspective really.














I remember how in an essay called "Craftsmanship" by Virginia Woolfe she asserts how language is useless because it is inaccurate, by virtue of the things we attach to the meanings of words. But then isn't it the same for pictures? I see Charlotte in a pose like that, and i'm sure there could be a million things we look at in the picture. Or maybe the road with the sun in my eye. What does it make you think about? I thought it was fantastic how i'd almost never seen the sun shine that bright before. Or how someone decided to take a walk to nowhere, purposefully treading on virgin snow.




And happy birthday Cheryl. Glad we made your day! Feel kinda sad that in 3 weeks, I probably won't see you and ur roomies for another dunno how long. Will miss you guys.




And congrats Jackie, great show, great singing. How about American Idol next?
