The Punctum.

Having read Roland Barthes theorys on Studium and Punctum I selected the image "Mainboscher's Pink Satin Corset" by Horst P. to relate the theory of punctum to.
Three parts of the image which immediately stood out to me were: the ribbion, lacing up the back of the corset, the hair grip in the womans hair and the piece of wood supporting the underneath of the shlef.
The ribbion caught my attention immediately, my best friends sister used to walk around the house rubbing a ribbion against her nose, this was known as "Ribby" and was used as a sort of comfort toy to her, right up until she was 22!
The second part of the image which caught my attention was the womans hair grip. Hairgrips are things I use every day, I have one in now... therefor the punctum has an obvious connection.
The third part of the image is slightly more difficult for me to explain, as I can't quite make an immediate connection to it. However it is the wooden support underneath the shelf, one thing I did notice was the way that the ribbion is infact covering the other support, normally a shelf would have two supports, otherwise it would not be supported enough and fall down. Maybe the lack of symmetry is what made this stay in my mind? The only other thing I could think of is that my father would do alot of wood work when I was younger, perhaps he made something similar?
I have concluded that the punctum is the parts of the image which stands out to you, the viewer. Everyone views images differently, therefor one persons punctum might not be anothers. I have explained my connections to this image, wether they be an emotional connection or simply something I see everyday.
