Fleeting moments in time in other people’s lives this week. Moments that should have disappeared into the ether had I not been there to capture them. And this photographic evidence that I present before you now exists unbeknownst to the subjects themselves. Photography for me always feels like the dark arts. It achieves something unnatural. It creates permanence to something that should be temporary. These moments shouldn’t have survived but now here they are, before our very eyes. They have achieved Immortality in a world of transience. Is that a good thing? Difficult to say…
“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
(As I haven’t much chat in me at mo thought I would let Albert Camus do the talking. Thanks to my mum for introducing me to this quote..it is her favourite and she manages to get it into a surprising amount of conversations and now it is a mantra of mine)
Hope you all had a good break and are having a joyous start to 2023 so far. ..
Some random observations to ease us into the year. No theme. Just moments in time. And plan to continue along these lines for a while so going to cut back on the chat for a bit too as still finding my feet (those damn elusive feet).
I am still more observer than participant in life so not much to report (apart from my condition and think we’ve all heard enough about that for a while) but I can still show you what I can see. And that way you can also come to your own conclusions about what you are looking at rather than have me banging on about it all the time. Sure that will be not only more mentally invigorating but a relief for all concerned…
