Photography

As I stand here on the edge of the world, I feel a sense of sorrow.

Nothing could’ve ruined this moment- the waves crashing beneath, turquoise water stretching to the horizon.

Nothing, except this.

You can capture a moment many ways- words. Painting. Photo.

Each can take you somewhere.

But as the world seems to silence, I find a need to capture the moment.

The periwinkle clouds turning dark blues and purples, the sky transitioning subtly from blue to violent red and orange, the sun a soft yellow.

I think of a painting first- where I could express these vibrant colors best- but come up short.

A painting can come from imagination, real life, or a thought.

But to truly capture this moment...

That’s how I got into photography.

At the end of the world, watching the sun sink below the sea.
