photo galleries

If a picture speaks a thousand words, how does one choose the appropriate words?  The human (English) vocabulary is substantially inadequate to express a visual experience.  For the moment we use words to describe something then we create a label.  That label is subject to individual definition, and our own personal filters.  Should not then every experience we have, every moment, each expression, be called "untitled"?  By this method we would leave everything open to our own individual interpretations.  It would be private, not to be shared.  It would be a spiritual experience. 

If I use labels on some photos, I choose simple, basic phrases, or just one word.  Ultimately  though, it is you, the viewer, who interprets what you want to see in your own way.

"The mind sees what it chooses to see."
