The Space Between

నచ్చితే నలుగురికి చెప్పండి...నచ్చక పొతే వదిలి పడేయండి ....!

Browsing through all the photographs that we’ve posted thus far has opened my eyes to a subtle trend.  I noticed that while I possessed a vivid recollection of certain events/moments that took place many moons ago, several of the moments between that point and now may have been forgotten if they hadn’t been captured on film.  It’s not to say that all these moments were insignificant.  Quite honestly, it’s the moments in between that have tested the significance of those stand-out events.

Would your recollection of some “wild night” succeed through time if it occurred alongside people you no longer associate with?  What if the events on that same night took place alongside people whom have since become members of your wedding party?  Time will eventually be the judge of each event, drawing a distinct line between the forgotten moments and those that will eventually get passed on to your grandchildren.

And while many insignificant moments will be forgotten, those falling in the space between a stand-out event and the present moment were not necessarily insignificant.  It’s a smile on some idle Tuesday, a conversation over a mug of beer, or that heated game of pool between rivaling significant-others that makes up life.

Continuing to photograph, or at least take mental note of, the less prominent moments will gradually build a collection of still-frames that depict our real life story.
