One Hour Photo

According to The Oxford English Dictionary, the word "snapshot" was originally a hunting term.

Most people don't take snapshots of the little things. The used Band-Aid, the guy at the gas station, the wasp on the Jell-O. But these are the things that make up the true picture of our lives. People don't take pictures of these things.

If pictures have anything important to say to future generations, it's this: I was here. I existed. I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture.

The shutter is clicked. The flash goes off and they've stopped time, as if just for the blink of an eye.



I just took pictures.
