For this blog assignment our teacher told us to pick a photo that is significant to us and why? Most people probably wouldn't understand how this photo could be significant to anyone because all they see is a heavy hitter, and a drum set. I on the other hand, see so much more than that.
I see my favorite drummer/musician on stage going crazy on the drum set. I see an inspiration that makes me want to do more and be the best drummer that I can be. Most importantly though, I see myself. I see myself at a concert going crazy and beating the crap out of my instrument.
That photo creates a spark of joy and excitement so special and so surreal and is unlike any other feeling in the world.
If this photo was described with words none of it would be the same. None of it would have meaning and there would be no significance to it. First of all, with a photo you see every detail of what your trying to comprehend where as with text your limited to what is being described. The absolute difference between a photo and text is that you can feel the emotions and energy of what your looking at.
How are you supposed to find significance in something when you can't feel what that person is thinking or feeling.

Thanks for sharing this, Adrian. Is that Dave Grohl? I am a huge Nirvana fan- so I appreciate your love of all things Grohl. :)
