What Is The Essence Of Photo-taking Here??? by Stoical: 11:14am On Mar 23, 2016
I may b a bit controversial, however, I welcome insights on this issue.
I am not ignorant of the fact that this pix might be sensational and people tmay become so "emotions" about my question.
I am open to learning and I hope I will get more of that rather than insults
I stumbled at this pix and was asking myself questions, one of which I hope I may be educated or some explanations given here. Covering yourself, with the reasons you may have is okay by me. I am only wondering what one hopes to acheive by taking a group pix with such attires...so, fill me in...

Note: I have spent at least a year at the seat of caliphate...Sokoto and I am very tolerant wrt religion, so I have no bias as regards this question...

What is the essence of photo-taking, if one cannot identify the people in it

I do not understand how what some people chose to be belief in is the business of some random individual from where I do not even give a hoot they are from. undecided

Religion is practice by those who think they can minimize the activies of the world & glorify the spiritual life therefore making a fool of themselves at the long-run.

You are sounding philosophical and more clarification is requested. Meanwhile, I don't think it is wrong for you to seek spirituality rather than indulging in the worldly way of doing things. But, you should be able to explain why you act the way you do.

@AirSultan, with due respect, I never meant to make someone's biz my problem...I am rather a student of nature who seek to understand things around me...so if you felt insulted, apologies. I felt, you could rather educate me on the things you know that I don't know, but wish to understand(don't think that is a bad request). Cheers

the spiritual works in tandem with the physical hence there should be no discrepancy about both... religion should stop dividing & commonizing things.

You are right, but the worldly way of life do sometimes go against the spiritual things...note, I use worldly instead of physical, because I know that the spiritual needs the physical to express "itself".

AirSultan, I wish his response did expatiate more on the topic. He rather explained the connection between spiritual and physical.

If there are no scholarly explanations to the act as rep in the photo...I really have not learn

Lalatisclala or MOD involve, I hope this is in the right section?

There is nothing schorlarly about it. It is purely spiritual and physical. They are dressed that way not only because its their choice physically but because it enhance their spiritual being. Just like nuns, monks, bishops etcetera

that is why I said religion has its ways of commonizing things and makes it look unimportant...

Anything that's done in the physical has its spiritual significance whether u tag it "worldly" or not. The photo they took has its spiritual significance whether they lack the knowledge of it or not.

Okay. Now can you please address the O. P's question -what is the ESSENCE of the photo taking
Nobody asked them why they are dressed that way. Wait, we all know why they are dressed that way, or don't we? I am also as curious as the o.p to know the answer to that question.. Or was it taken at gun point?

@ the bolded: I have yet to meet one of those, whose manner of dressing can be said to be similar to those pictured above, who are faceless.

Your argument above remains off topic.
Re: What Is The Essence Of Photo-taking Here??? by Stoical: 11:26pm On Mar 23, 2016
Well, I won't call out or mention names again. I would rather not claim ignorant of the spiritual cum physical reasons for the outfit. I was only concern or try to understand the rationale behind the photo, as posterity can't even identify them(physically). I know God can, but He doesn't require their pix to do that.

Trying not to be insistent, Youngsage has reiterated my question...
Re: What Is The Essence Of Photo-taking Here??? by gabinogem(m): 5:02am On Mar 24, 2016
Photography has it's significance whether u are religious or not. People have various reasons why they take pictures. I think they took that pic for the purpose of remembrance which is best known to them alone.
