I realised today that being in a foreign country is tough.
This is especially true where my native language or a language which I am familiar with, like English is not a commonly spoken language.
I also found that the gestures and signs I have grown to know sometimes means absolutely different due to culture differences.
To me, its like being blind mute and deaf.
What is interesting though is that photographs sometimes tend to get a similar response.
Everyone has an interpretation of the meaning of the photo and each person sometimes tends to evoke a different emotion as a response to seeing a photograph.
BUT... the great photos, the photos that inspire, the classics... they tend to have something in common. No matter where you come from or who you are, these masterpieces tend to convey a clear and definitive message...
It could be love, hope, despair, anxiety.... but because they are clear and concise. Maybe its just me, but these great works of art are clear in their message...
They are as what one advertising company's slogan goes....
"Truth Well Told"
Have a great weekend,
