Still frames in you mind...

Its been a tough week...but something i read has sort of impacted me. Plead the fleeting moment to remain...Some photographer said that...I don't know who...but I can be quite sure that its a photographer. Reason being? Isnt that what photography is all about? Isnt that what everyone wants to do?

All of the moments that already past...we try to go back and make them last... And we keep telling ourselves not to dwell in the past...who are we trying to kid? You know trying to keep that moment in a bottle is great...but try as hard as you might, chances are you're not going to be able to do that. Those moments are going to come and go...happy, sad, angry, and all else...its only going to be there for you then.

Trying to make a moment last, plead with it to remain, its like going on a road and stopping to admire this beautiful blossoming flower...and staying there when the whole orchid is just further down. And then as the flower starts to wilt, you try to nurse it, bring it back to life, but it is past its prime...and you stay there and mourn its lost... when all you could do is to get back in the car and drive on to the new flowers down the road.

I guess the point is that nothing is picture perfect...flaws will always show...life is about dealing with all the flaws, not searching for the flawless. And as for moments, I guess they're there just to build ur foundation...to give you something to fall back on...to give you a reminder that though times may have been good in the past, the future can only be better and brighter.
