'Capture'

"Capture the Moment...then live in it"

A major passion of mine is photography. And i've read articles that say photographing everything actually destroys the memory as you're too busy taking the photo and not living in the moment however I believe that you can take the photo, then enjoy the moment. Then years to come you can look at that photo and immediately be brought back into the moment and live it all again.

Feel free to contradict me if you think otherwise.

I love how something as simple and small as a photo book can transport you back through years and years of memories and experiences. It opens the vault of our cherished memories.

Personally, my memory is terrible and I need and love to take photos of everything special to me so if I ever want to be reminded or brought back to that time, all I have to do is look at that photo and all my senses are awakened. I can hear the gentle lapping of the waves onto the soft and silky sand. I can smell the the sweetness from the nearby blossom tree and the saltiness from the sea. I can feel the joy alight in my heart and expanding out across my chest and warming my whole body. Or whatever memory it is, you get the picture.

Who else loves to take photos or, live in the moment?
