“Because life isn’t lived as a whole. You aren’t given a hundred years all at once. Time is doled out one very manageable second at a time. Stop looking at the big picture and find happiness in the seconds.” I’d always loved photography—before and especially after I’d lost my parents. It was my escape. But it wasn’t until that moment that I realized why. A camera could capture a million different emotions. But only one at a time. One second. One snap. One memory forever frozen in time.
