ellipsis…

have you ever thought about a moment. i’ve been thinking about moments for the last couple of weeks. partly because i’ve been trying to re-work my philosophy around shooting weddings. i need a reason to. a moment, unlike time, only lasts…. well, a moment. now. time seems more like an infinite notion. moments (and i guess in hindsight, memories) are what shape us. you make a decision in a moment, a thought, a choice. they directly affect what happens next. and sure, over time that moment evolves, but it started what came next. we can’t take it back, we can’t change it, we can’t go back. and in someways that’s the beauty of a moment… it’s frozen there… only to be looked back upon. to be pondered over. ya, ya, i know. this whole notion of a moment seems way to romantic for this asain boy to be writing about. but the more i think about it, the more it works for me. it sure works for weddings. i’ve never been one to take a chance on things. but ever since europe, i’ve gained an overwhelming curiosity to know what a moment has instore. what it looks like on the other side. i don’t really know where that leaves me… a hopeless romantic, with blank que cards to write. hopefully this new curiosity works in some good. hopefully i don’t make a fool of myself while trying to keep up with george. i do know that the best moments are the subtle ones. the ones that we just catch. a single word, the slightest touch, a fleeting smile. revel in those momens, they’re only ever there for a second.
