Words and Photographs…

Some frames can not be a photograph, and some meanings don't have a word. Sometimes a photograph shouts numerous words, and sometimes even the masterful words fell short to describe a photograph. This unidentified relation between the words and photographs is fascinating. It’s an affair no one often talk about. Words with their meaning, and their origin, their pronunciation, their sentences, their synonyms and what not are complete and wholesome. It is a full package, rarely incomplete. And photographs with their Devices, their lighting, their orientation, and their focuses balance the scale. Both are similar and different as well. Sound and Color are their prime qualities respectively. Every chunk of letters written on a paper have a sound. Words can be said. While colors once captured, they remain forever. It's like a memory. The photograph makes sure that whatever in it is as real as it can get. But after all, it is a thing that deals with the past. On the other hand, words may not have colors, and can not possess impressions like memory, but they can be the map of the future. We can write about the future, but can not take the photograph of it.
Sometimes the photographs are the perfect medium for transcending the emotion, sometimes it’s the closeness of the words that someone seeks. Sometimes the box with a lens and a flash does its magic, and sometimes the sound of the words are enough. Words can guide someone to the peace, while a photograph can show that peaceful image to everyone. Words and Photographs are like long-lost relatives of each other. Things we feel, things we imagine, things we think about reflect in our words or in the photographs We take. Words and Photographs, Photographs and Words…!
