Story behind the Images

Hello Readers!

A photographer always looks for a remarkable moment from which he can not only take photo but also can relate a good story also. Various types of images we see nowadays that contain very striking stories. On the grounds of religion, several images are currently being spread that contain stories that provoke us to think rationally, critically. Technology has also played very vital role in the campaign of any thought or idea through image. Memes and edited funny images convey the message instead of genuinely clicked photograph.

Here I've shared few images memes and images which will set us up to think critically.

Image on left. Many gadgets are there who receive our voice and immediately react and reply. Amazon is quite good at delivering things. Perhaps Virgin Mary wanted to remain virgin and yet wanted a baby. She might've spoken Jesus to Alexa but a living baby came as Amazon's standard delivery. Image on right. Mascot of McDonalds is hanged in the manner of crucifixion of Jesus. But this is not the actual image, here the mascot is smiling and his feet are rested on a little stand. It seems like this image is made as a counterpart of the actual one. Here is the unedited image.

An artwork called "McJesus," which was sculpted by Finnish artist Jani Leinonen and depicts a crucified Ronald McDonald, is seen on display as part of the Haifa museum's "Sacred Goods" exhibit, in Haifa, Israel, Monday, Jan. 14, 2019. 

Fun apart, both the images are representation of a particular religion. Iconography is now emerging surprisingly different way. Editing tools and software are now easy available on the web and by modifying some parts the image can change into something new.

Thank You!
