Outside I stand looking around me and taking in the sights and sounds. The camera with me waits at the ready. I click the shutter, and I have an image of the moment that cannot ever be experienced again. Every element of the photo says “remember me. “
I print the photo.
I process the film.
The artifacts make their way into a book. Overtime, the memories become distant, and I feel an emptiness in thoughts. The atmosphere is dull but little whispers say “remember me”.
I stop by the photo book, pick it up, and open it. Suddenly, all the places I have been and all the things I have seen fill my mind with wonder. The sights and the sounds bring me hope.
I remember.
Everyday take a moment to reflect, remember, and appreciate life. The camera is a tool to help you do that.
