Tough 24 hours. I don't even want to talk about it.
Today has been grey and cold. Tonight only more of the same... to ease my soul, I have been listening to some music favorites from my past. And some music that just fits my present mood somehow. John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" and "Imagine" are examples of music that I am just now beginning to appreciate. 😎 I have no idea why.
So, my mind works through a lot of the music I have listened to so far and then it struck me that bad things that happen everyday should not set the tone or affect the good things. But how to express the most important things in life is a difficult thing because of all the distractions. The only way to avoid those distractions is to look at the fragility of life and it's precious short time that we have to enjoy it. Ah, that's it! But why wait?
What would you do photographically if you knew that you had only a little time left in this world? Imagine what would be important to you and how you would express that in a collection of images.
I imagine that LOVE is what I would think is the most important and that love is the motif of the collection that I would produce. Have I just happened upon that which I have recently lost? The reason for taking a photograph? Have I let it be displaced because of the bad things that have happened recently?
I think maybe "it" has been re-discovered and I should waste no time in a new documentary with a new motif.
Please post your images of "love" as you express it. I think they would be terrific.🙂
