“Come on man, The little guys with the big eyes”
The more i delve into photography the more i find meaning in things. The bigger picture that is often written about. A phrase i had never truly understood and was maybe rebelling against, i spent my twenties chasing a good time, trying to enjoy what time i had, living a fast paced life that leaned towards inevitable burnout. When you stop enjoying what life brings you that mentality becomes redundant.
Flash forward, mid pandemic i start taking photography seriously, it became my tool to document life. I have found a way to enrich my being with new perspective. For me an addiction that brings me toward people and experiences in a more meaningful and thoughtful way.
The knowledge that a split second moment is always showing itself to us before dissipating never to be seen again and that i can eternalize it in some form, as long as i am being conscious and aware, brings a true form of happiness i’ve never had before.
It is easy to forget this because it is a regular occurrence in our everyday lives. I guess this is what i was touching on in my last post about being present. Ive always had a problem with religion and never quiet found the right spiritualism to suit my style, but i do love when strange things materialize before me, it has allowed me to see beauty in this bizarre mind boggling world.
It may not be for everyone, but it seems that those around me have all been looking for ways of slowing down amongst the constant barrage of life the world has been throwing at us, photography has become my form of meditation.
Sappy crap, cherish the moment, blah blah.
Also Nope should’ve been nominated for an Oscar.
