The Art IN Seeing 3

Have you ever been in the midst of a group of people who were not speaking your language? Perhaps you were traveling abroad and found yourself “where the locals go” with no way to communicate effectively with them. Or maybe you were just hanging out with your grandchildren for the afternoon! It’s a little disconcerting when you want to express something but have no way to do it other than by hand gestures or by asking for an interpretation that's offered with an impatient roll of the eyes!

That never seems to happen with photographers. They have a silent language that goes beyond words and gestures. They can be off in their own world and fully engaged with one another at the same time. The instrument in their hand crosses language barriers, culture and age or in many cases brings them together. That’s because photography is a language of the eyes. And although there are as many nuances to this language as there are photographers, when the words come out of their cameras, they have no problem understanding one another.

The crew is back composing well

I really related to your commentary. So well put - with a cute shot to accompany it.

[eDorre]

Such fun!

[Babs]

I may borrow this idea at some time, I love it. I have some Lego photographers and Playmobile photographers too. fav

[Issi Bannerman]

Super!

[Diana]

Great fun image and fabulous narrative.

[John Falconer]

True! Great shot.

[JackieR]

This happened to me and @casablanca a couple of years ago, not seen her before, or since, that 4 minute chat. But we both uploaded the same red squirrel!!

Lovely fun shot btw

[Kerry McCarthy]

Clever shot. Good observation too!

[Casablanca]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond That really is a moment that makes me laugh. Next time, we will know each other!!

@olivetreeann I love this shot, so much fun and so much truth in it!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Such a clever shot and I loved your explanation.

[Nina Ganci]

This photo is a perfect description of your discussion. You are absolutely right about it being a universal language too. Participation on this site has proven that over and over and over again

[Dustyloup]

I like how they are together but apart or rather apart but together

@hjbenson @milaniet @edorreandresen @onewing @jamibann @ludwigsdiana @johnfalconer @30pics4jackiesdiamond @mccarth1 @casablanca @mittens @ninaganci @grammyn @dustyloup

Thanks to one and all! I'm glad you enjoyed the commentary. I have fun writing out these little musings- but I think the Lego Photography Club is having more fun posing for them!

[Pyrrhula]

Very nice and very creative.
( I did try to say that.)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry!

[Pyrrhula]

@olivetreeann You`re welcome. I admire you creativity very much.

[Islandgirl]

Well done and great story!

[wendy frost]

Your landscape is getting bigger great capture with your Lego threesome or perhaps on their lonesome.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@radiogirl @wendyfrost

Thank you Kathy!
Thank you Wendy- it's been growing a little each week as new photographers come along.

[Chris Johnson]

Well, you know I'm giving them a big FAV!!! You described the language of photographers in word and in the image perfectly!! Love how you built upon each shot! CJ also agrees and give a big thumbs up too!

[Vesna]

Interesting. I love your comments.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@cjphoto Thank you Chris- I have gotten completely hooked on the Lego Photographers and hope to do something more with them- maybe in January when I get stuck in the house. I think I've bought almost every one! I'm glad you and CJ the LPC (Lego Photo Club) because they sure like you!!

@vesna0210 Thank you Vesna!

[Chris Johnson]

You've definitely been bit by the Legographer bug! They're perfect for those stuck at home shots. So happy you're having fun and CJ's a big fan of their work! ;)
