Meaning of photos

I have enjoyed looking at the photos by my classmates and reading associated stories. Each photo has a story and all are very interesting. I have to say life is such a wonderful thing! I also realize the meanings of some photos are more universal (e.g., sunset, mountains, and desert) whereas those of some other photos are more personal (e.g., baseball glove, a piece of bread) -- without reading the story behind a photo, guessing often tends to inaccurate. This is not say personal meanings of a photo is not as attractive as universal meanings; many photos that bear personal memories are highly valuable because of their uniqueness. On the other hand, photos of universal meanings often leave more room for imagination. From an experiential perspective, both types of photos have their distinct roles in inspiring us.
