A picture speaks a thousand words

I took up the role of a temporary photographer at youth camp today, as there was only one photographer and it so happened I just bought my new 256MB xD card... I thought I'd just use it.. hehehe....

The first game was at the football field. As I was walking towards the field and taking photos, a thought came to me and I thought it's a great revelation.

In events like these, we normally take photos, right? So whenever you were laughing, frowning, running like mad or just talking, it's capture on film, on in modern age, memory cards.

So our facial expressions on camera reflects on how much effort we put in at that moment. The eyes give it away most of the time.

- Someone who has his mind on the game will have his eyes intently focused on the task. His body language tells you that he is putting 100% of his ability to do the task. Just look at snapshots of sportsmen or sportswomen and you'll understand.

- Someone who does not want to dirty himself/herself in the game will glare at the task, with only half of his/her body leaning towards the task, and the other half not willing to move.

- Someone who couldn't care less probably will look at the task from the corner of their eye, their body not facing the activity.

Therefore, I conclude, that truly, our behaviour and reactions to things certainly tell other people about us, even to those who do not know us.

I wonder, then.... If I were to review my life in still image photography, how would I score? Which area was I the most focused, and when was I nonchalent... And if it does get caught on photo, would I be proud to show it off to others?

Tomorrow's return to work day... the last working week of 2005!
