Camp
I'm back after a week's absence at my CS FOC camp.
Seems like quite a lot of fun har..
But pictures always capture the best moments. Not long ago, after watching Robin William's One Hour Photo, i realised that. That, as in pictures dun tell the full story.
One Hour Photo is a disturbing tale of the human soul driven by loneliness and desperation.
Perception, deception and pretentiousness.
We take pictures to remember our happy moments but at that instance what are we feeling when we smile and pose for that picture. Are we putting on a good show so to cover up for all the negativity we are feeling? A smile is no longer a smile when you get older and that alone makes a smile scary. It can mean many things. Because behind a smile, evil thoughts are lurking, hidden problems, internal hostilities or simply uncomfortable at putting up a smile.
Humans haven't realise themselves that they are excellent actors. Disgustingly but surely, when they rot of old age, flipping through the photo album, they will realise that they live in a world of deceit. A world whom they can't identify with. Smiles and laugher which they can't distinguish their genuity. Only pictures of babies and kids don't lie.
I'm just saying all this for fun.
The reader is confused again.

It ain't just the smiles that are not smiles; there are the words that don't carry what they mean, the (crocodile) tears..etc. Sometimes they make the world a better place too don't they? Sometimes being pretentious prevents ugly arguments and hostile relations too. Now that's probably what they call being diplomatic. Well, I guess as we grow older, we develop. Inevitable. For the better or worse? It depends on how you look at it.
But whether we can look back on our lives and identify with it depends on how real we live it and how much passion we put into it.

come across this on one of the occasional voyeur's trip. anyway, i feel even pictures with babies and kids are not always that innocent after all. always remember when you put a frame on something, you refuse to see whatever is beyond it already. and we all should already know who pressed the shutter trigger; it can't be another kid or a baby.
sad to say so far i can't think of anything that's free of adult agenda.
