What do you see?
A beautiful woman looking at a crystal ball is the first normal answer. Or maybe a tattooed model in a black dress with a crystal ball.

But if you look more closely there is so much more to the picture.

Start with the light. You can see purple pink light coming in from the right side. The light accents her flowered arm and her purple hair.

Next her face. Her mouth is slight smiling but her eyes are not. Serious and yet a bit whimsical. It makes you wonder what is she thinking? If you look closely at her eyes you can see little catch lights – the reflection of the photographer’s lighting. Above her right eye is a tattoo – what is it? Her right ear has an earring and she has a piercing on her lower lip.

Her right shoulder has a tattoo too. A heart with some sort of symbol – what does it mean to her. On her chest is another tattoo but obstructed by her left arm. What does this tattoo mean?

The most interesting detail is a small cut just above her right elbow. She has been injured but how? What happened? Did she fall or did someone hurt her? Maybe the cut is symbolic of a deeper hurt inside of her. Of maybe it is just a cut she received walking her dog through the park that morning!

When we see a person in a picture do we just glance and move on? Maybe it would be a better world if we all took the time to see the person in the picture and try and understand that there is a bit of their life in that picture.
