What are Expressions afterall?…

Expressions 

Expressions are one of the oldest signs of evolution. They are as old as rocks and stones and even beyond. What else do the layers of the Grand Canyon store in their ancient layers of soil, than a directory of expressions evolved over different periods of time?

Minute creatures which were just an amalgamation of cells gathered together slowly and developed to a being that was capable of expressing himself. The business of expression started with things as elementary as hunger and thirst, went on to become as complex as those of insecurity, embarrassment and delight.

 

Today, expressions rule the globe. Everyone, from the producer, the businessman, to the advertiser and right up to the common man constantly tries to innovate his store of expression as much as possible for, it’s as simple as this: The more diversely can you express yourself, the more individual position you carve for yourself in the globe of aspirations…

Photo sharing sites are the most recent, also one of the most classic tools of self-expression. Visual signs of expression, like a smile or a frown are the most direct means of putting your thought across. It depends on you how you choose to exploit the range of signs and symbols of the human behaviour to make a collage of intelligible communication by the way of photographs.

Even a landscape, without any human figure in it is a definite form of expression for it brings to the viewer a certain idea about the photographer. Also, any expression also provides a wonderful opportunity to be analysed in no specific manner. The viewer may not exactly defer the same idea which the sender associates with the expression.

A person may post a landscape of a lush green field with a blue skyline depicting a clear weather to depict his feeling of delight at nature’s bounty, but a viewer may interprete the same scene as a sign of loneliness with no soul visible in the picture for miles around the countryside.

This is what expression is all about. It is a wonderful bigamy of thoughts and interpretations…
