In the summertime.

SUNSETS, SUNRISES
You marvel at the sunrise
as the cock crows,
I will marvel at the sunset
as the great horn owl calls.
You can take one,
I will take the other.
Inspired by the “and”
not the “or”–
the beauty of each
framed in the eyes
of the beholder.
Each a snapshot
captured in time,
hanging on yesterday’s walls —
a measure of life’s splendor,
harnessing tomorrow’s inspiration.

Clouds come floating into my life,
no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
but to add color to my sunset sky.
—Rabindranath Tagore

I’m fascinated with photos.
When you look at a photograph, what do you see?
Is what you see reality?
Is it posed?
Many of my blog posting start with “Capturing The Moment,” which might imply: taken out of reality; taken out of context; posed.
What is really happening in the moment?
When you look at the above photo, which captured a moment, you don’t get the narrative. You don’t know how the image fits into the world, but if you begin to ask questions related to who, what, where, when and how you can create a narrative — a photo story that effectively places you into the image. Still, when many people look at a photo, they tend to be matter-of-fact about matters of fact.
Because I took the above photo, I know more facts of the narrative. Because I composed this photo, the moment is out of context, in a sense I posed the photo, which is why I believe all photos are posed.
Still, this photo provides the viewer a lot of information from which to create a story that will allow the image to fit into the viewer’s world. It’s a narrative we create using our values, experience and perception, which allows a photo to become attractive to the viewer. The viewer can be connected and not connected — looking at the past as if he/she is there.
Photos offer a powerful look into history, so ask questions.
