Welcome Back to

“The Meaning of…”

I started this personal project a few days ago on my blog. I have taken hundreds of photographs that I love and keep going back to. They evoke memories, feelings and always associated words. The other day, someone described the theme running through the photos I take, my style if you will, as a photographic haiku (|ˈhīˌkoō; ˌhīˈkoō|, a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world). I felt very touched and also proud hearing that my photos stirred such emotions.

As a copywriter, I love words, of course, especially the many subtle ways their use can convey so many different meanings. A photograph can have even a wider range of individual meanings – and scores of emotions – attached to it than copywriting (which is and has to be more precise) can create.

Born was “The Meaning of…”

I’d love to see you comment on my definitions, hear yours and invite you to share your photos, ideas and linguistic quirks and cravings on my blog. This project reflects my tastes and sensibilities, and is by its very nature a very personal and subjective view on the meaning and significance of certain words, which I captured in photographs I have taken.

Until next time,

Daniela
