RE: The Power of Photographs

in #photography6 years ago

Here's what i see. A young woman and very cute baby in what might be a crowded room. it's cold. She's wearing headphones. A narrow street outside and a brick building. If i say anything else i would be making up a story. That can be fun. Then i read it's Auschwitz. Now what? I change my point of view. it becomes more meaningful? Yes. The image hasn't changed but the story takes on weight. This is a really good topic about words and art. An endless one that i think about all the time. Especially here on steemit.

Sort:  

I like making up stories in my head too when I see pictures. Isn’t is interesting how an image changes for you when you hear a little more about it?

When i go to an art exhibit or a gallery i usually avoid reading anything before looking. I guess i do the same thing here too ; )
