PART 2
The title ‘ life with photography ‘.
Tom, if that life is what little I know of you, then I suggest it is time for you to try something else.
Please explain.
Your statement is ambiguous.
That’s as evasive a response as I could imagine from you Fahim.Life itself is ambiguous. Images, with some ambiguity, I prefer. Such as some of the images you post.
Death is the only certainty.
So it is, as you say, with my statement. Ambiguous with only probabilities.
Just as life.
Stay well.
That’s as evasive a response as I could imagine from you Fahim.
Ambiguity is a reserve of the shy or devious.

Tom,
It sounds poetic as a nice turn of words but is it universally true, or even mostly so?
Not necessarily so!
I would proffer that ambiguity is also part of the reasons we wear clothes have manners, and are courteous. We don’t want all our thoughts, interests and whims to be immediately obvious and force adversaries into conflict with us right now!
Ambiguity allows discourse, today, (even with incompatible people, we might stab tomorrow), as no one is clearly embarrassed, dismissed, put down or humiliated at this time.
That way, we reserve the power to strike, forgive or be simply tolerant of differences!

The pictures are nice. But I am not going to enter a discussion about the meaning of life or about the meaning of social interactions. It is clear to me that Tom has his own ideas on these subjects, as we all have. These ideas have been formed over a lifetime of experience. They may be right or they may be wrong, that is not relevant here. We all have lived a different life and therefore, we all have been forming very different experiences in those years. I'll just look at the pictures and consider them windows into Tom's particular experiences. Just as I look at other's members pictures and consider them windows into their particular experiences. The pictures are different as the experiences have been different.
[L]et’s limit discussion of such posts to the nature of the pictures and avoid hints of personal bias, animus or parsing intent as was done here!
It is true, a photograph results from the click of a shutter and the recording of (usually) a split second in time of the visual world. And that's it.
THANK YOU Wolfgang. I do my best with the limited skills I haveHi Tom
I appreciate the way you handle your digital imaging very much! Great!
Stay cool in down under!
