Lost in Translation

Say it with a Kiss – “Dialogue”

According to WordPress guest host of this week’s Photo Challenge, dialogue “in photography can be perceived as a consensual interaction between two images. Placed next to each other, each photograph opens up to meanings that weren’t there when viewed alone. Each composition reveals the photographer’s specific sensitivity to certain content or visual elements.”

 

 

At first glance it looks forbidding with its rough and spiky skin …
…but on a second look you’ll discover softer texture and a little kiss 🙂

This is my response to Weekly Photo Challenge: Dialogue.

P.S. This is the second time since I have this blog that I am putting on the music I don’t like just cause it suits the theme 🙂 Don’t listen!

    I guess you know me well enough to know I’m often looks for “troubles” – not related to you or your work here, which I find very fascinating and a clever idea – no it’s about the theme and about two images placed next to each other A and B, each photograph opens up a connecting story between them – if we set them up B and A, in fact so it’s a different story we make – but I guess often we don’t notice if it’s A and B or B and A … 😀

      Hello “Troublemaker” :). I am always amused when I read you :D. Yes, it could have very well been B and A, though alphabetically you my friend are wrong 😀 😉 I guess the story can be told in reverse. There was a nice little gentle pineapple, pouting its lips for a kiss, I came closer and ouch its spikes and rough edges made my lips bleed. How’s this one? 😀

        I’ve kissed a camel the one humped type – fortunately only once
        but have never kissed a pineapple – not even in dreams… 😉

        My son ate half a small cactus when he was 5 and enjoyed it – yeah silly like his father – I have never asked him if he kissed it too… 😀

          😆 I have one (cactus) rotting on my shelf – (don’t ask how – I can kill anything) Will he be interested in a snack, just asking before I consider throwing it away? 😀

                  I can only guess reasons that compelled you to do that… (too much to drink, sun getting into your eyes, a mirage in desert and you mistaking it for a beautiful maiden…?)

      Really, and I thought my abstract shot was too revealing to be an abstract 🙂 Did you notice little lips? About the song, I know it used to be a huge hit when J. Donovan sang it. I am happy to have discovered a version of a voice I have great admiration for (Chris de Burgh :D) Thank you, Linda 🙂 🙂

    Don’t laugh, but I have kissed a pineapple. I tend to test texture with my lips, like I test whether laundry is dry. The music was a pleasure, because it belongs to my teenage years.
