Observing people around me is one of my favorite activity to pass time when using public commute. The thousands you walk past every day in a busy city like NYC initiated this hobby into me. You can see people from different walks of life and observe different cultures from their dresses.
A recent conversation with a friend (Mr.X) told me as to how he discusses his friend's relationships with his spouse post their meeting.
Another day when I was home and browsing, I was too bored to read or watch some video on the web. I started clearing my old emails. I got a crazy idea.
I went through all the photos shared by my friends in a row. I couldn't help hear Mr. X's words playing through my mind all along.
A picture paints a thousand words. Every single photo told volumes about the person and his/her partnert. I could observe the information they were sharing in the different "moments" of their lives.
There was one guy who was always hugging his wife. Well, its normal for married couples to hug in pictures. But the interesting part was, he was hugging her with both his arms around her. His wife would stand next to him arms on her side and he would have both his hands around her with his palms knotted. It felt as though he was loudly but clearly telling the world his insecurity in the relationship. It looked as though he was announcing to the world that the girl belonged to him and also his way of holding her showed signs his fear of losing her.
There was another guy who would always stand right next to his wife in all pictures, most of the time dressed well and wearing coolers. But he would never hold hands or hug his wife. He would always stand a foot away from her. It looked as though he has not forgetten his ex and even after 2 yrs of marriage did not have the heart to accept his wife. A simple hug would have done it.
The way the person stands next to their partners and embraces them to capture their moment is a totally private way of their expressions. But when you share your pictures with your friends, you are silently telling them something about your relationship.
You could hold hands in one, mutually hug in an another one or one can hug in one picture, one of you can hold in another one etc etc.. all that jus shows your simple ways of love and how you both paint the picture "perfect". It is always a healthy way to share your pictures to friends and family but when you do, make sure you leave no bread crumbs behind to be cleaned up by them ;-)
