It may be hard to look at life just like others do,it’s just the nature of human beings that each one of us look at stuff as it’s from a different perspective which makes it hard to tell the meaning of something that you have captured in a picture,especially what it means to the person who took the picture in specific.
So for me i like taking picture of nature and concerts that i go to or even taking pictures of some random stuff that i might later finding a meaning of it.
So on my top of my list in life i can say going to concerts is something i do from time to time to remind me of how fun life can be sometimes and it just gives me a big joy, so in the first picture i can say that i took the picture because i want to remember that day that i went to aziz maraka’s concert which is one is the greatest singers in the middle east in my opinion so all the lights in the pictures,the people and that exact moment he started singing so all that joy and happiness comes back to me the moment i look at that picture but that’s not all i still can say that other kind of concerts gives me the same thing but it always depends on who i am with and who was singing as well.
But when i talk about happiness in life i also mean great food,that's something i can call true joy of life so a lot of people may be shocked when i tell them that i love making food and trying new stuff so for me i’m into making Italian and american food in general and i am not only talking about making them but also serve them in a the right way so when you look at the picture you would wanna eat that just because it looks good and as they say “you eat with your eyes first” so if the senses of taste,smell are distinct the only thing that determines how good food is would be the vision and the way that food looks, so the shape and color of the food are the ones that give you sometimes the alter assessments of taste and flavor and that's why i took that picture, because it gives me a good feeling of what i actually make and how good is my food and also gives me the desire of going on and keeping on this good habit, so i can not literally think that there might be people out there that disagrees with food being an element of art and joy, because it is art and joy that it even got popular in this modern world we are living in.
But who would say that we only take pictures to put them in our phones and that’s it, we sometimes take goofy pictures randomly and after a while it just reminds us of what were we doing when we took that picture and who were we with,it just simply reminds us of what that pictures meant to us so for me this picture i took 4 years ago here in Chicago and i kept it because that day was so special for me and for my family so every time i look back at it, i just remember what were we doing that day and how happy were we that day so i can not say that this picture for sunset means a specific thing or a single meaning, it’s just emotions that we can never make it disappear just like that or delete it from our brains, the point is this picture and the picture that follows it kinda means the same thing so the first one was with family and we stayed all night having fun and the second one was about me and my friends downtown Chicago having fun and enjoying the views and that day it was one my best friend's wedding so we did lots of tradition Arab wedding stuff that made that day unforgettable, so people might say how did i take that picture, i would say that i actually waited 10 min for the water to come of out so i can take the right picture at the right moment and it was pretty great and to give a meaning for other picture all you need to do is just take them randomly and without thinking about it much and for everyone this could be so wrong or so stupid but for me i like doing it this way and so far i like what i’m getting.
People might wonder if i take all my pictures with a professional camera, the answer would be no i do not! It’s just pictures that i take with my iPhone's camera (not the best camera in the world) but it's just a hobby that taught me with time how to take all of these pictures in a professional kinda way without that much of an effort.
This one over here just reminds me of how could the environment around me while i study effect my capability and my wellness to study.In general,this place in the picture is just the library of moraine valley community college, the place itself in specific does not mean anything to me but the whole meaning of reading or studying in a perfect environment that makes me capable to do what i like which is mostly reading
But if i look back i would say that i could not or never had the ability to study somewhere where quietness was not there so it was really important for me to pick a place that i would be comfortable at to do homework,ready or study in general.
People might think why the library is one of your favorite places? I would say that i never had a favorite place to do homework because i moved a lot in my life so i can just say that this picture represents all the places that i have chosen to read at, regardless if it was my room or on my break somewhere down the hall or at coffee.
The point is each one of us choose to study somewhere they get comfortable at or where they can not be distracted, maybe even considered as a second house if you are addicted for reading for example, and as Frederick Douglass says “Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” and that really shows how reading is considered an important thing in life but only in the right place so it could be more meaningful in away that you still read the book at least twice and still enjoy it .
