DMS Blog #7

Hello,

Well, first off I know this is way to short, but this is all I have. The last image is exactly what we see, the last image. Which in a video or movie is a black screen. Yet, Viola ties the last image in with death (black is the color of mourning). So, when you are 'on your last image' or you see your last image (that is, the last thing you see before you die) you die. Also, black refers to the pupil or the blackest part of the eye, the image viewer. The pupil converts the image to the correct position. Did you ever think that the world is really upside down and we view it well convert it to right side up? This comes to my mind when I think about cameras and how our eyes flip images so we see them correctly (well what we think is correct anyway). Well, I believe they are metaphors; the lasting image is life, the last image is death, and the temporary image are the obstacles we over come or the 'pauses' we take along the way, spur of the moment so to speak. Like Viola says, images are icons they are never forgotten, hence lasting image. The images stay hidden and stashed in ones mind. Therefore, when you die so do your images. However, this is why we need, we want, to look in to the eye (black) of someone else or our self. They say a picture says a thousand words, and looking in to a person's eyes is looking in to his or her soul and in this case I guess that is true. Sometimes we let others in on the secrets so they may live on again. A temporary image does not last but the last image has lasted and may live on or it may die with the holder of the image.
