More than just creating still life pictures, the art of photography conveys an untold story that many people can relate to. When presented with a picture in front of us, each and every one of us would have a different interpretation based on our own life stories. Most of the time, how we interpret something is largely influenced by our perspective in life brought about by how we are able to live it. A simple picture portraying a tree with a woman sitting beside it could be seen in a vast number of ways. For some, it might be interpreted as one’s mother waiting patiently for his prodigal son, or a one’s lover eagerly seeking his beloved half.

The stories behind pictures that we may encounter will strongly depend on our own experiences. The way we attach meaning to every picture we see will convey a part of our subconscious thus helping in understanding ourselves better. Regardless if we are the ones taking the pictures or the subject of the picture, we are still putting our own personal touch into every picture that is made. When we look back at it and recall the story behind it, we are integrating our thoughts better thereby letting us learn valuable life lessons.

Even with just a simple camera, we are able to convey a story behind the pictures we take. Photography is a great avenue for touching people’s lives through the still life pictures that are captured from this small device. By adding our own interpretation to the pictures we make, we are letting people into our lives so that we may be able to understand each other better. Each and every one of us is capable of taking pictures that can move a lot of people. It only just depends on how much passion we put into this relatively new hobby.
