Frozen moments....

I love pictures.

I find that they have a story to tell as they freeze moments in time. They hold a thought, an emotion, a feeling and a perspective as they capture light to paint the outside world. Long after the moment has passed, long after the people have changed, and the world has changed, the picture lives on... and it carries the story with it. They could be your stories that you would want to revisit later or some one else's stories as they prompt you to stop, look, reflect and make sense. Moments from life around you, frozen for eternity on a small piece of paper.

Pictures freeze moments in time. A blooming flower, a dropping leaf, a fluttering butterfly, the light peeping through the shadows, a tear drop, a smile.... moments that make our life.
Moments of agony, despair, ecstasy, camaraderie, empathy, hope and many more such emotions... they make our life. Some visions and images epitomize these emotions. Some moments will forever remind you of such feelings. These are the moments that one would like to hold on to.

Pictures do that for us. They hold a story for us long after we are gone. I love freezing those moments by the simple click of a button. I love the shift in perspectives that light can cause. I love capturing those moments, moods and emotions.
I love pictures. The perspectives, the thoughts and the feelings therein.
