Six Word Story #220

Six Word Story

About This Six Word Story:

This six word story was inspired by Kevin’s No Theme Thursday prompt for the week. I was thinking about what to post today because I’m not done writing my book review yet. And I thought, I hope Kevin posts a NTT post today, that would be awesome since I haven’t done one of those in ages. And I go to my Reader and see that he has posted a NTT post. The universe is really in my corner today. Anyway, you can check out his prompts for the week here.

I haven’t shared a six word story in ages but I know some of my readers really enjoy them so I wanted to share one today. When I saw this image I thought of photographers and how because of their images we see the world through their eyes. When we look back at images of special moments to us we think of those moments and rarely think of the photographer even though those moments were captured through what the photographer saw not what we did.

Photography is so subjective even though it feels like something that would be objective. At least to me. I don’t know if that made any sense. I hope it does. Recently, I had shared this post and Katiemiafrederick said something similar which is probably what led my mind to this SWS.

Feel free to share your SWS in the comments using this image as your prompt!

I recently published my first book and would be very honoured if you took a minute to check it out here.

    Very lovely, Pooja and a great angle to look at it from. We just see a picture, but what exactly was the photographer thinking?

        I’m no pro by any means, but I would think just like playing music, writing, etc., you’re probably looking to capture that moment in time and make people feel or think. The beauty of art – even if the artist has one intent, it can mean something different to each of us.

          Absolutely, it’s a type of art and the artist has their own goals with what they show us.

        Thanks. Just remembered the advice I got from my journalism prof before leaving for Spain on a study abroad gig. I was going to take photos for the college’s student paper…but I was an editor/columnist, NOT a photographer, so I asked for some pointers.

            I did, yes, but I had my share of difficulties there. In 1988 it was harder to keep in touch with our relatives (we only had long distance phone service and air mail), and even though I’m a native Spanish speaker, adjusting to Spain’s cultural norms was a challenge. That said, I’m still friends with the director and student affairs director of the International College of Seville.

            If you ever get a chance to go to Sevilla, GO! There’s lots of cool things to see and do…and there are Roman and Moorish archaeological sites, too!

    Photographers seem to give us the gift of letting us determine what should be seen for our eyes. And I wonder if sometimes the photographer silently wishes that someone would see what they’re seeing for their own sake of feeling understood with clarity. 🤔 Or whether some photographers love to keep their own interpretations to themselves as like a gift for themselves? 🤔 Who knows. I think that their art form is truly beautiful and life giving. I hope at least some of them out there feel appreciated for what they are doing for the world. We truly need them. 💖
