Yeah, a memory's never finished, if you really think about it. Richard Linklater, Before Sunrise & Before Sunset, Julie Delpy

About seventeen years ago, I asked one of my friends why she never went on vacation. She said she wouldn't because when she returns, she falls back into the same routine, and it feels as if she never left. During most of my travels, I told myself I wanted to enjoy my time and didn't want to lug the heavy camera that weighed more than I did. But as I get older, I realize I was wrong. People say we must enjoy the moment, but I believe we should put the same effort into capturing it while recording something that will be gone as soon as we leave. And this time, I did something different—I didn't let go of my Nikon. The reason is that my excitement nowadays wears off more quickly, and the more effort I put into recording and saving, the more I feel later that that moment did not just pass, it became a part of me and who I am. P.S. Before the Sunset is one of my films! That ending!!!!!! I bought a book about it from Shakespeare & Co.
