A picture is worth a thousand words. The photos that tells the deepest stories are usually stories that aren’t meant to be taken or sends a message. This photo was taken of an elderly man who is in the hospital for lung cancer from smoking cigarettes for the most part of his lifetime. The man is hooked up to many different machines to keep him breathing and to keep his heart pumping. There are notebooks and clipboards sharing the bed with him and a writing pen very loosely in his right hand. This man is obviously suffering, but he still manages to stay strong and be able to send his message across. He wants his message to make sure no person on this Earth end up in the same position as him because of a poor choice to keep up with a bad habit such as cigarette smoking. This photo symbolizes the hurt and regret this man feels but how strong he has became.
The scenery is in a hospital room and the elderly man is laying in the hospital bed. Although the hospital bed looks comfy with the two fluffed pillows and the white blanket that was placed on the man’s legs, he looked like he was in pain. The man looks as if he’s in his late sixties. His hair is pure white with some gray streaks that haven’t turned white yet and his green veins are piercing through his pale white skin. The hospital lights are as bright as the sun but the suffer in his big brown eyes makes everything in the room look dark. Although the breathing tube is down his throat, it looks like he has something to say but he’s not in the condition that he will be able to. With his fingers spread apart on his left hand, the fingers on the right hand gently caresses the pen, and the notebooks and clipboards on both sides of him, you can tell that he was too weak to write the message he wanted to get across. So instead, along with the gently held pen, he comes across a sign that he held below his stomach that says, “NO SMOKING.” By him showing this sign, it shows his regret. He was very regretful and wanted to stop current smokers from the pain he was in. He has many things to say but that photo he held up took the words right out of his mouth.
Throughout the pain, suffering, and regret, the patient with lung cancer could still send the message he wanted to inform. Smoking tobacco can ruin your lungs, health, and end your life earlier than expected. The patient wanted to send the message that smoking and second hand smoking would eventually harm your health and you shouldn’t let it get as far as he did. With lung cancer. His choice of smoking cigarettes and carrying a bad habit ruined his life and could possibly end his life early. Don’t let a bad habit end your life.
