What photographs do you have that capture a moment in time that you can see, hear, smell and taste without a caption or description. I was lucky yesterday at a cooking demonstration to get this one.
Nice ones @lolanae - not only sensory but emotional attachment to the last. I feel the heat, smell the smoke, hear the wood crackling. The lemon was not pleasant (bitter) - prefered you kept that one to yourself. All three make a "sensory connection" with the present. Great job
@mikehamm - smoking charcoal, heat from the grate, burning meat and fat - do I smell onions? @kellyhaysley - I love the smell of chlorine or salt water in the morning! @buttercup - OMG - I'm a believer - the oozing sauce and ice cream - MMmmm is that waffle or french toast? Why am I feeling hungry?
What an assault on the senses - a simple image in time that stimulates the fears, emotions and senses of the viewer. In many photographs the viewer is a visitor but in all of these gems the viewer can experience the event through imagination and recollection of their sensory events. Is that not a powerful art form?
This has been my first discussion posting and you have all responded with images that are so loud, stinky, wet, cold, hot, tasty, bitter, sweet, tearful and distressing in their own ways.
Your photographs have moved me and taken me through the full gambit of emotions surpassing my original request for sensory images. You have given me more than I anticipated - and for that I appreciate your sharing and your skill in this art.
