Everything is in Movement

Storm Clouds

“I go and get the camera and do it. Photography is a medium in which if you don’t do it then, very often you don’t do it at all, because it doesn’t happen twice. A rock will probably always be more or less there juts the way you saw it yesterday. But other things change, they’re not always there the day after or the week after. Either you do it or you don’t. Certainly with things as changeable as shy and landscape with moving clouds and so on, if they look wonderful to you on a certain day and if you don’t do it then, you may never see them again for the rest of your life. So as a photographer you become very conscious – at least I do – that everything is in movement.” -Paul Strand

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Man! Isn’t that the truth. Do it now because you probably will never see it again in your life. If that doesn’t make each moment special, I certainly don’t know what will!

    Terrific post. With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is so easy to overlook this truth. I welcome the reminder. Alas, I probably will need another reminder in a few weeks. It all slips away so quickly.
