This week’s challenge: Eye Spy.
Meaningful eye and facial expressions in sign language (photo credit: Jérôme Bourgeois)
Translating a conference during the Douarnenez Film Festival last August.
Inspired by the Dailypost page.
Keep your eyes open and enjoy what you see! 😉
On an eco-friendly journey, every day more conscious of the consequences of my actions on the environment, I also avidly learn about any trick I can live by and share, to make the world a better, greener and safer place for everyone.
Currently based back in southern France for work, learning Japanese, discovering permaculture, I’m also planning my next getaway!
Les Petits Pas de Juls 
…whouah,quelle expression !! La LSF exprime mieux ce que nous , « entendants », pouvons ressentir…..l’expression du visage est un livre ouvert sur les émotions !( quel était le sujet pour te voir si « en colère » !!!? Gros bisous pour mon interprète préférée 👌
Je ne me souviens plus du thème exact mais le festival parlait des minorités d’Amérique latine… on a beaucoup parlé de colonisation et d’usurpation des terres… d’où l’expression du visage représentant le sentiment des indigènes. ..
Great idea Juls! My best friend growing up had deaf parents although she had no hearing issues. They communicated with sign language so I grew up around it. It’s an amazing language and much more expressive than verbal communication IMHO.
That’s one of the reason I fell in love with this language and decided to become an interpreter 😉 love it!
We were 3 best friends. Our 3rd friend became a teacher in a school for the deaf. Inspirational!
Awesome !
Haha, that’s awesome! If anyone ever tries to mess with you…go with this face.
Ahahaha not sure I can do it on my own when not translating ! 😉
This looks like a savage Julie, not one to pick a fight with 🙂
I don’t remember the subject of the conference that day, but yeah, something like that ! 😉
Great catch, Juls!
My friend Jérôme (the author of the catch) is a great photographer and colleague. And apparently I can’t translate without making faces 😉
Ha…. I did not realize it was you!!! That is fantastic and even better! Hey, so very cool! I did not even know you do sign language! You are amazing!
😆 yeah that’s me all right! That’s the amazing job I do in France and why I’m staying in town when I could be back in Mexico!
Haha…! Oh, I see! But I have to say at least you are having a job that really makes sense to me!
And to me!
Obviously to tell from the picture! 🙂
😉
It made me smile, too.
janet
Always smile, you know how good it is for our health!
You are good at what you do; I can tell! Great shot!
Ahahaha thanks! 😉 doing my best.
Oh what a great entry – a bit more out of the box than my animal images… Great thought around the theme
Thanks! 😊 I had an animal picture first too but then this one made me smile again!
And so unique – which is what I love about teh challenge… gets you thinking and exploring old photos…
True!
I love the expressions interpreters use. I use sign language myself as my adult son is deaf- the deaf are so expressive.
that’s one of the reason I fell in love with sign language in the first place. 😉 and why I’m now so in love with my job!
