I posted
this last week, based on a few small impressions I had. Thanks to James, the first person to comment whom I have never actually met (an after-the-fact, highly-convenient benchmark thank you), I will now uselessly explain the idea I was trying to convey.
So I saw this picture, which came in a giant book of stock images (which Mike H. also got!) and cringed immediately, seeing a woman suspended by what I assumed would be some sort of rope around her neck. Em thought the same thing. James, Matt and my mom all saw a woman jumping. What you saw, I think, may speak volumes about your personality. Now I've never read even Psychology for Dummies (does it show?) but I bet there's a connection. If you ask me, those seeing the suicide are probably just evil. Yup, that's it. I should show it to my brother, who is actually certified evil, he'd know.
So that's it. It's becoming a regular feature here at the c4h, the disappointingly explained observation. It's like I'm not even trying.
(haha, do you know why the above line is extra funny? There's no
regular anything around here!! HA!)

Interesting. Well, I can certainly see why you might think suicide. The color of the legs is not healthy at all.
Actually I saw the picture, but couldn’t comment because I had a spotty connection at the time.
For the record, I assumed it was a woman hopping, perhaps jumping rope.
All the colors in the image looked false to me, so I didn’t get anything from the skintone.
PS: The title of the original article suggested to me that this would be an image that used negative space (like the two-faces/vase image), so I spent a long time looking at the negative space in this picture for something to pop out at me. Frustrating!
Oh, sorry Chuck! I really should put a disclaimer that post titles may have little to no relation to the rest of the post.
So my lesson is, next time be a little more specific, I think I made it more complicated than I should have. Perhaps “what is this woman doing?”
Regardless, everyone who saw it can now search their imaginations for the deeper meaning of what they first saw. Or not.
I’m going to start posting random corbis pcitures
Q-Tip is hanging in my bathroom.
Their photos in last year’s packet were better….
Oh man, Corbis is everywhere around me now…i just emailed them too, looking for stock footage….CRAZY!!
