you know why i love photography? because it lets you capture life in a frame. a single frame, a measly amount of pixels. every successful picture was a pretty big task to tackle. i mean, to be able to read the emotion straight off of a model's face? it's attainable, but only with effort. and you know, sometimes, pictures that you thought were bad turn out great. the unexpected capture, the unintentional frame, can be completely suckish... or terribly great. and if it is great, then that's one image that you can turn back to in your worst times.
yeah, a movie might have a thousand pictures inside of it, but it's not worth them all. take one snapshot from a film, and you've got merely a snippet of the entire plot. it means nothing.
but a photograph... it is so much more concentrated. that's why a picture's worth a thousand words, right? fill a page, you're only a step of the way towards the end of your story. a page can be two hundred words. but a picture? a thousand.
that's why photography means so much to me.
When I counted up my demons
Saw there was one for every day
With the good ones on my shoulders
I drove the other ones away
So if you ever feel neglected
And if you think that all is lost
I'll be counting up my demons, yeah
Hoping everything's not lost.
