Why are you downloading people's pictures?
Because I horde pictures that impress upon me. I generally keep seven categories of photographs and artwork:
1. Dark/morbid. Examples of this are photographs of gargoyles and statues at the Glasgow Necropolis, abandoned train stations in Montreal, Hiroshima and Nagasaki immediately following the nuclear detonations, burning buildings, people committing suicide, Insoc, etc.
2. Humor. Examples of this are the gif animations that float around the internet and everyone sees, photographs that I find particularly funny in some way, and shopped photographs, such as some of the things on worth1000.
3. People. These are photographs of people who visually exemplify some characteristic outside of the expressed norm. This is the category that the photograph I mentioned is in. In this category are photographs of North Korean peasant farmers, cancer patients, the homeless and otherwise unkempt, and people who look very sad or withdrawn, among others.
4. Aesthetic. Examples of this are fancy geometric designs, stupas and other uncommon architecture, staircases that don't lead anywhere, St. John's Square during a flood, Himalayan landscapes, etc.
5. Weird things. Examples of this category are bacteria (magnified to cell level), chest and neck x-rays, unusual street signs, East European television station logos and anything that doesn't go in any other category.
6. Historical. Examples of this category are photos from the Spanish Civil War, WWI, WWII, Yom Kippur War, Six Day War, Vietnam War, Korean War, Russo-Japanese War, Falklan War, East Berlin during the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Great Depression, Ghandi, Lenin, Emperor Hirohito, Bosnia, Serbia, any time and place of tragedy and destruction and a few famous historical people.
7. Culture. Examples of this category are photographs of the Stoning of the Devil, Ramadan, Ganjitsu, Sukot, some other festivals and photos of things that are considered important or common in other cultures, like Sakura blossoms, Jizu statues, Ushankas, etc.
It will expand to eight categories soon.
Oh and, not people
's; I only saved the one I mentioned.
