What kind of photos do you usually take?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u00b4ve noticed that I generally take very few pictures \"of people\", that is, the kind you would take with your family or a group of friends. To be honest, it\u00b4s something I don\u00b4t normally pay attention to, so I almost always forget (or, at most, if I\u00b4m in a nice place with my daughters, I think of taking a selfie with them, sometimes with better results than others). Luckily, there\u00b4s almost always someone at every group or family reunion who remembers to immortalise the moment, and let me take this opportunity to say to them all: thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, what I\u00b4ve noticed I do a lot is take photos of places or things that call my attention for one reason or another. Sometimes it\u00b4s a landscape or a building that strikes me as beautiful, and I try to capture it without people if I can (this is what I call \"making postcards\"). At other times, I take photos of things that hold sentimental value for me, evoking fond memories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And some other times, I snap photos of interesting quotes or phrases I find in the most unexpected places, like this one I want to share with you today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_20251031_135905.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"507\" data-attachment-id=\"8188\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/binarywords.com\/en\/img_20251031_135905\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_20251031_135905.jpg?fit=4000%2C3000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4000,3000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.75&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;AC2003&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1761919145&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.745&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0083333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_20251031_135905\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;White sign with a quote written in red and blue: \u00abHow do you know if someone needs encouragement?

Chick-fil-A is a US-based fast food chain that we found surprisingly delicious.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It turns out this quote is from none other than the founder of Chick-fil-A, here it is in text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>How do you know if someone needs encouragement?

The only thing is, I\u00b4m not able to confirm the author because it\u00b4s not clear, and I don\u00b4t want to risk it and have a repeat of that time when I was accused of giving <a href=\"https:\/\/binarywords.com\/en\/2023\/10\/23\/verdadero-o-falso\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2814\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">false information<\/a>...
