Lost in Translation

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: VISION

 

What good is sight without vision. This little girl envisioned that she would be feeding swans with cornflakes at the nearby lake, and she did it.

      Thank you very much, Debbie. I wish I knew her family to give them this portrait.

    What a beautiful photo of childhood Paula. The shimmery water expresses a whole concept of “vision” larger than feeding swans.

    My verbal contribution: I’ve just read a collection of essays by a woman who became blind in her twenties, and who sees blindness as a gift (eventually: not when she first raged against it) enabling her to “see” in so many other ways, and live a life of total joie de vivre, which included carrying the a Olympic torch on one of its Australian legs in her seventies.

    Beautiful shot Paula. Not sure if cornflakes are particularly good for swans though.

      I am not either and I did not stay long enough to see if a swan will choke on her cornflakes.

            Elle a 32 ans. Il en avait 33. pas d’enfants, mais ils étaient ensemble depuis six ans. Le mariage était prévu en Novembre. Mais surtout ils étaient tellement bien ensemble. Both very independent but symbiotic. Perfect for one another. Personnellement je ne m’en remets pas. Alors, elle? Combien de temps ça va lui prendre pour ne pas se réveiller en pleurant?
            Pardon. I overextended myself a bit. 🙂 And then I remembered a comment you made about the war. The war(s) that hit you and yours after the fall of Yugoslavia. Ça a dû être affreux aussi. Enfin, nous allons (ma femme et moi) à Paris Samedi. J’espère que ça nous changera les idées. Beijo amiga.

    Vision…so many different meanings within one simple word. The image is beautiful…the golden glow of the water seems to add something special to one of the meanings within “vision.” Hope you enjoy my take

      Thank you dear Tish. I am a bit reluctant about photographing strangers, especially children. I don’t want to invade their privacy. What I love about this shot is the fact that the little girl is hardly recognisable .. it could be any little girl 🙂
