CANDID

This is my irky word of the...I don't know how long, but a VERY long time!

I really get annoyed how people create online photo albums and dub them as "Candids" and fill it with photos they take of themselves or with friends that are "non-photoshoot" quality. Those are not CANDID photos!!

"Candid photography is best described as un-posed and unplanned, immediate and unobtrusive."
-Wikipedia

If you are looking at the camera, smiling for it, posing for it, or whatever, it is NOT a candid photo!

A candid photo is a photo that someone takes of you slippin', not paying attention, or one that you take of someone else who is unsuspecting! Anyone remember watching a show called "Candid Camera"? "Smile! You're on candid camera!" The show where unsuspecting people were captured by surprise in miscellaneous acts? Yeah. There's the word in context.

*breathe* Ok, had to get that off my chest. Yes, I am a "hater" of these people who don't use their brains to use WORDS correctly.

Thanks for reading.

Repost

This world has come to be... crazed.

From the age of "I want it now" it has transitioned to the "Entertain me at all times"

We click & refresh. Constantly.

The evolution and 'revolution' of Friendster to Myspace to Twitter has shown a progression of the amount of instant stimulation/gratification that we crave in our daily lives. Our inner thoughts and feelings now have a platform in which to sit, play, amuse, and receive a response to. What we used to keep to ourselves while people watching, going through out daily movements, is now open to the public--to the world.

In the defense of feeding our self-narcissism and perpetuation of self-projection upon the world, I think it can be a good thing. I used to jot down the things I ate throughout the day and week, the things I need, the places I went into a calendar or journal to keep track of how I was living my life. Was I living a healthy lifestyle? Being productive? You have entries to pour over to evaluate.

An interesting thing... this type of communication.
