Sawai — > I see what you mean. Text messaging is almost the same, sine it’s not face to face, and thus open to lots of conclusions and interpretations. =\

Ally — > Good point about flame wars. Thanks for the example; that explains things more. Thanks for the nice comment also.

RIck — > Interesting point.

Yes. Interpretation says more about the person than about the subject.

Yeah, difficult - so many flame wars start because people miscommunicate.

I saw an interview with Georgia O’Keefe where she was saying that all the interpretation of eroticism in her flower-pictures came from other people - she painted the flowers as she saw them. You get what you get from any picture because of what’s in your mind already. I think this is a lovely photo and if some people choose to see hidden meanings in it, that’s their interpretation of it, not the picture itself.

You wrote exactly what I had thought of, after reading the title.

I am a victim of a lot of mis-interpretations by a lot of my best friends.
all because of text chatting…
I hate text chatting…

I really wish I could write more…

Manik — > Thanks. Glad you like it.

Chau — > Thank you. Hmmm, I have to ask you more about that. :p

Jerine — > Yes, heh. :p The route you suggest is perfectly fine and should be done as we should express what we think in an effective manner.

This post reminds me of our previous conversation. I can’t help but to laugh. It seems to me pretty ridiculous. Honestly, I think the photo is quite indecent but I prefer to tell you personally than to publicize it.

Good entry, Bes!

I know what you mean about misinterpretations, though… *sigh*…

Even if the photograph is suggestive, i think it is tastefully done.
Ppl have a tough time accepting facts and coming to terms with reality, there is nothing disgusting about the human anatomy that one should be grossed about…love ur pics on flickr..keep up the good work
