| RadioactiveSquirl 2005-09-07 ch 1,   | I really like this poem, and even more so because I'm a photographer, not "professional," persay, but a photographer of sorts nonetheless. I don't like the studio shots where you get your model/subject/person-you're-taking-a-picture-of to pose in the way you want them to to portray some good aspect of their features or whatever. I like more of the candid-type shots: action. When I'm in there and snapping pictures of what people are REALLY doing, get their REAL personality going on. Smiles can be true, but a lot of the time, as one of the points in your poem says, they're posed and, more or less, fake--sometimes covering things up. Depending on the photographer, the actual photographs can be replicas of what we'd like to believe is true, the way we pose ourselves to let others see. And sometimes it's the viewer's interpretation of the photograph, which is an additional story. I'm not quite sure where I wanted to go with all this. But all in all, I really enjoy this poem of yours. =) |
| Anna178 2005-06-30 ch 1, | I really love this, specially the ending. 'Nothing is picture perfect.' your right. There's a lot of controversy with pictures though. Some people feel that pictures dont lie, you can be smililng but its easy to see through, specially if you aren't posing for the picture. I think it's the people inside the photograph who are lying. Anyway that's my thoughts, I still love this idea though. I think I'll attempt to add this to my fav list, but my computer normally wont let me. lol. I can really relate to this, great job. Hope you and all your friends make it through the day...hell, go for the week! ANNA |
