I believe it was the ancient Sumerians or was it the Mesopotamians who invented written language as we have come to call it nowadays. And from what I know (since looking back to things that I've learned during my formal academic days are fuzzy at best), that first form of language is called 'cuneiform' and what is interesting about it is the fact that the first set of characters in that said language were basically made up of simple geometric characters which they basically use to describe so as to make out certain figures, of people, animals and anything in general so that it would be put into a conceivable set of intricately woven characters that speak out a specific thought, or as how we would call it these days, as words. But then came the Egyptians who then introduced a far more superior form of communication dialectics which as history books would tell us as hieroglyphics, which are mostly comprised of a series of drawings that take into account not just mere representations of people, animals and etc, but actions, events and stories into a complex sequence of drawings which again still a singular thought as cuneiform did before them. And then came the Hebraic language, then the Greek and later on Latin and as we fast-forward it to a few centuries past we would come to the English language that we have now. But basically the dynamics is just the same words are merely pictures or a series of them to say the least I mean basically all written language starts out like that (I mean even here in the Philippines we wouldn't have had the written Filipino language if not for the Alibata), so what am I trying to derive here?

Well nothing much exactly other than the fact that words and pictures are basically (yet seemingly different) much the same. They are just representations of thoughts or memories to be exact. Together they are basically nothing more than mere specters of things that have come and gone in our lives, they are but a means to connect us to what we were in the past.

I once read that it takes seven years for a person to regenerate the entire makeup of cells in his body, thus making him a new person every seven years, and to look at it in light of our lives it basically means the 'selves' that we have seven years ago are but dead and it takes a picture or an entry in a diary, or a footnote in a book or an article in the newspaper, to connect us to that 'self' that we have seven years ago. So every time that we'd look at a picture of ourselves when we were a baby we'd just be basically looking at a different person that no longer exists at this specific point in time and the only thing that would connect that baby to us or more specifically show proof that that baby in the picture is in fact us are memories of that certain point in time when we were still that baby.

Now you may be asking what does this have to do with the idea that what you're looking at here is just a mere online photo hosting page that just hosts my pictures, would be to ask me of who I am now and how am I related to the past that I once lived.

I know you have been brought here via my blogspot website which is basically an outlet where I share shards of my life to you, and now keeping in mind that pictures are better at expressing stories of our fond memories in times past I thought it best that you experience those stories through the images I have here, because certainly does speak a thousand words.
