I see life as a bunch of moments. When you get old or whatever happens, your going to look back on your life and your not going to remember going to work, school or uni everyday. You might remember a routine but not the experience exactly. What we do remember, what stays with us throughout our lives are small peices of great times: Moments.
These are immune to time, they dont fade they machure like wine. A moment might be the first time you met a loved one, an amazing night out etc. To me this wallpaper is capturing the middle of a moment. I imagine the camera man saying "hey wait a minute" as the girl laughs and then he puts the camera down after a picture and continues on laughing and running with her.
To me there is no greater feeling in the world when you realise in the middle of a moment that it is one, you realise your going to remember this. Like a lucid dream, you have awareness. I think this shot represents that single moment of blissfull awareness.
I learnt this a while back, so I made it my goal to be aware through these so I can appreciate them more. Nearly a year ago now. These were the best times of my life, but you know what I learned? no matter how aware you are, or prepared or reflective. Once these moments pass, you will always think you didnt savour them enough. I`m not sure its ever possible to really 100% enjoy them, regret is inevitable. My life has slowed now, Its changed and stayed the same in the worst ways. I reflect a lot, its my way of escaping . I think what truly makes these "moments" so amazing is the fact they are still frames from a fast paced none stop film. People running in and out of your life, you rushing through different stages of your own eager to get to the next one. Its all fast but within these quick fleeting plots of life, you are left with a few photos capturing the best or worst times. To me this photo is one of them, a still frame of someones memory, reminds me of my own.
