Carpe Diem

Carpe diem. There is a lot to say about these two words, but in a nutshell, you have to simply enjoy the moment. And to enjoy the moment; you have to look at things, and not just look at them, actually see them. You have to tilt your head up and down to catch sight of things, you have to breath deeply and you have to listen to the sounds of birds, water and the rustle of the leaves. 

But photographers on the other hand, they don't just enjoy the moment, they actually keep the moment. They don't want to let the beautiful moment go, they are determined to keep it with themselves. To look at the picture again, and listen to the song of the birds, to feel the sunlight and to be there. Again. 

This is what makes every photo special: 

The desire to keep the moment. Forever.
