Need to get multiple views on what you think this image is "communicating"...This seems as good a place as any! Serious answers please!  The passage of time - an elderly photographer (black and white photy) tracking the effects of time on thier lives. In this case their eyesight is shot to shit and is melting! |

How about this one... Seen that before, I think by making the tears like drops of glass or beads it could be saying something about cosmetics as a mask for the emotions, or implying a lack of sincerity... probably not, but it's an argument anyway...  |

I was thinking that perhaps the over sized glass beads are making a mockery of the emotion the woman is feeling. It's surreal.

How about this one... False emotion. A woman crying crocodile tears. With the false eyelashes and false tears it's quite damning. |

Ok cool. I wrote earlier in the essay about how Surrealism and photography is a contradiction - photographs are meant to capture the 'real' but Surrealism is something that is greater than the real....sooo I could perhaps use this image as an example. Still need more analysis though Think I may just make some shit up! |

Isn't art supposed to be about interpretation anyway? So really, as long as you say what you think, and back it up, you can't be wrong! Or is this like in RE and English (esp. poetry) where you're supposed to say what they want to hear?  |

Or is this like in RE and English (esp. poetry) where you're supposed to say what they want to hear? Yeah, I guess! But it has to make sense and most of my ideas so far, just don't lol. I guess this one is quite hard because there's not much going on in the image - it's my fault though, cos I chose it! |

See, it may just be me, but when I look at that picture, I swear it looks like the 'tears' are going upwards - to do with their shape and the lighting and angle, I guess, but I can't shift that impression.
Anyone else getting that? If so, there may be something in it...

Need to get multiple views on what you think this image is "communicating"...This seems as good a place as any! Serious answers please! Could be I'm coming into this late, but I love Dali so couldn't resist. Plus I should be working and distractions are good for me right now. Nice photo. For me, the key is to ask which way is the water flowing? Is it carrying the cats forward or is it flowing against gravity carrying a disconnected object? And what about the other two cats - why are they not in the water. Are they propelled or were they there anyway? Dali being there himself is the autobiographical comment - "am I here because I am propelled or did I propel myself here? Am I disconnected from the ground because I jumped or was I floating above it anyway? I could have a hidden meaning or I could have no consequence. You decide, but my job was to challenge you to think. Either way, if I put you in the right place I can get you to make me able to send water flowing upwards" Stream of conciousness for you. I'll lay off the other one as the crocodile tears shot just doesn't do it for me...sorry...  |
