Photo Instead of Imagination
Many decades ago human beings had to have a good imagination and beautiful words in their notes in order to feel surrounding people and environment. But today just having a look at the photo can make you feel that things. There are two good photos can play a role of the perfect examples of that fact.
The first picture which I would like to call "calmness" shows two people who are in love. I think this picture expresses their sincere feelings toward each other through the calm and quiet atmosphere which shows that they are confident in each other's truly love where there is no place for the doubts and restless emotions in comparison with a lumpy sea. The foggy bridge creates an atmosphere of the lovely relaxation. The two persons are not clearly shown to make feeling that anyone who watch it could imagine that he or she may stand there and feel the gooseflesh and warm of love.
Another picture, which I would like to call "restless" is a totally different situation. The guide ship which is full of the people who are like the fish in the tin looks very tiny in front of the powerful and fearless waterfall. The people like an ancient Greek slaves who came to get forgiveness from the god of the water. But the boiling up and fuming water which drops like the mass of the stones shows god's dissatisfaction.
The both pictures show the wonderful scenes. The "calmness" shows the quiet and warm atmosphere which makes feel relaxed and calm about the surroundings. It also shows the harmony and true love between the couple where the nature is also harmonized with them. But the opposite feelings are experienced by having a look at the "restless" picture. This picture creates a boiling up and the feelings of indignation. It shows not the harmony but the recognition by the human beings, that despite the fact of the high technological achievements we are still the slaves of the nature.
So many decades ago we had to have a perfect imagination of the places which are difficult to get, but today the photos give us a chance to experience the atmosphere of any place even if we cannot get there. By looking at the photo we are able not just imagine but we can to feel what it expresses.
I TOTALLY loved how you made your interpretation to the picture so unique in the second body paragraph!! I actually thought that the ship was a cruise for tourists and the people came to enjoy the sight! But you saw them that they are like "ancient Greek slaves who came to get forgiveness from the god of the water." I was just totally amazed at your imagination!! Also, the expression, "the fish in the tin," was also very funny and impressive!!
ReplyDeleteYour main point seems to be "the differences between two photos of beautiful sights."
I already said about the expressions that struck me powerfully in the beginning. They are "ancient Greek slaves who came to get forgiveness from the god of the water" and "the fish in the tin". I’d say, they are AWESOME!!
Everything was clear to me, except just one thing. The only thing I couldn't understand was this expression: "feel the gooseflesh".
To tell you just one point, when I read this sentence in the second body paragraph, " I think this picture expresses their sincere feelings toward each other through the calm and quiet atmosphere which shows that they are confident in each other's truly love where there is no place for the doubts and restless emotions in comparison with a lumpy sea," I couldn't clearly get the meaning because the sentence is way too long. If you cut this into two or three sentences, the meaning will be much more explicit.
It`s amazing that your viewpoint is very interesting! You said you felt "restless" and "calmness" in these pictures, and depicted crowd of people in the second picture to "ancient Greek slaves"! I think your imagination and expression are very nice. You also said the people in the first image are in love, though I think they`re men!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I want to add to your writing is more detailed analysis in body paragraphs. You used very interesting metaphors in there, however, there are little detailed analysis of images. If you wrote more information such as periphery and composition in the images, it might be better, I think.
Anyway, I enjoyed it!
