When I was in college, I had one favorite subject, which, ironically, nobody else liked. That subject is called semiotics, and it is the study of signs.

Yesterday I went to a photography event made by famous bloggers/photographers from our country. There wasn’t much detail given about what we were going to do or hear about, only some names and the mentioning of a performance by some artist.
