The focal point of one's face is their eyes.
Through a person's eyes, you can see their sadness. Through a person's eyes you can see their happiness. Eyes are often the vessel to examining one's soul.
It is with our eyes that we gain our perspective of life, and of the people around us. Our eyes, even if they no longer work, will always be a part of one's life. The reality of memories is captured through the eyes, allowing them to be replayed and relived.
With old age, the skin around one's eyes begins to age, becoming wrinkled and withered over time. The caves of one's eyes begins to deepen. Eyes themselves, often look the same with old age. Although the color may fade with cataracts, the color itself does not change. Although they may not see the same, all that they have seen does not change.
As the Old view the youth throughout their life, they are reminded of when they were young. Their eyes allow them to make connections in their old age.
They may loose their appearances, their memory, and their physical strength. Some may even lose their sight, but they can not lose what they have once seen.
If I looked into your eyes, what would I see?
The pictures really add emotions to this post, it shows that the eyes tell a lot about you. Nice work.
ReplyDelete1. I wrote a post about this topic because I not only wanted to add powerful pictures, but I also wanted people to view parts of themselves and of others in different terms. I also thought that it was a unique post pertaining to old age. 2. I only had difficulty with deciding how I wanted to word the message that I wanted to get across. 3. The rhetorical purpose of this post was to inspire people to gain different views of people, of themselves, and of the world. I want people to look deeper than what is just on the surface.
ReplyDeleteThis is so interesting. You really can tell a lot about a person by really looking at them.
