photography

It just occurred to me how sad photographers are. While it’s great to capture moments and relive them in future, photographs cannot capture emotions.

While they fuss over the technicalities of their gadgets, they miss out on actual living. So caught up in capturing moments to remember that they forget to bask in the moment. They forget to live in the moment - and that’s what living is for.

I don’t ever want to look at a picture years down the road and think to myself “what a beautifully taken picture” and remember that I was fussing with my camera while others were having fun.

Been there, done that. Fuck that.

I guess that this can’t be extended to people who actually do this as their career since they photograph things that mean nothing to them.

I sure as hell won’t want to be photographing moments I’d like to remember. I’d be paying. A lot. Because I think I’ve known enough “professional” photographers to know that just because you know a few shit bout DSLRs that amateurs don’t know, doesn’t mean that they take pictures that are usable.
