impermanence . photography



The impermanence of life is what makes it so very precious. 
- Carpe Noctem -

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” - Elliott Erwitt -

impermanence . photography


for all compounded things are impermanence, 
only the presence of present counts.
and thus present is everything.

some say photography is an art of observation,
and that a picture is the expression of an impression.
hence photography is a channel to express our acknowledgement.

photograph registers the presence of present.
photograph captures the precious moment in time.
photograph is a proof for all things impermanence.

all things degrade with time,
all lives aged with time,
all memories fade with time,
but photograph preserves the presence, 
photograph is a legacy left behind.
