The past week we've been doing a lot of synthesizing and looking at pictures, their credibility and what they represent. It's said that pictures are worth a thousand words. They were right. A synthesis essay of about a thousand worlds describing how the taking of that particular picture came to be and possible another thousand describing all the different way it could be perceived by the general audience. That last sentence was probably a thousand words too. There are staged photographs and so called "candid" photographs too, but sometimes I feel like nothing is really candid. Even when taking a photograph of something unnatural and unstaged we wait for that "moment" where everything seems to be in place or seems "right". Isn't waiting something out in a sense also staged? Keeping a sense of time is staged. But time is a concept that humans created so does this mean that WE JUST CREATE STUFF THAT WE DONT UNDERSTAND SO SMART PEOPLE CAN DO THE THING WHERE THEY USE LIKE THE BRAIN THING AND UNDERSTAND IT.
But you gotta hand it to the human race for not knowing what we created and then trying to figure out what went wrong.
Now we all know how Kmart works.
I guess judging the credibility of a picture based on how natural it really is depends on the way we want the picture to be. One of my classmates 2chengz (also a successful rapper) mentioned that military families keep happy smiling pictures of their loved ones so they can remember them as happy and smiling because being their normal selves may not always be the happiest.
What we could learn from all of this is that EVERYTHING is subjective.
Is a picture really worth what's it's praised of?
Am I right? (Ha of course I am who do u think u are)
Is 2chengz really a rapper?
Did Sriya really eat 6 slices of a large pizza to win a bet in the 5th grade?
Is that why she looks like a pizza?
All very philosophical universal questions.
Haha but hey are they even questions though.
Sriya, this post made me chuckle. You have made me reconsider the reality of life. And if you really do look like pizza let's please set up a date so I can eat you.
ReplyDelete2chengz is the realest rapper i know ok, HE IS MY IDOL. i have converted to the 2chengz fandom now that one direction is done.
ReplyDeleteand also i would like to propose that this date becomes a three way date bc i want to come too
and i like the rhetorical questions AND CANDID PHOTOS ARE FAKE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT EVEN CANDID
As alway, Sriya darling, you make me laugh, and this made me laugh and say"this girl is on point." I respect this rant very much and hey Angela, mind sharing her with me? I'm famished.
