"The problem with photographs is that you miss the present while worrying about how to remember it. Some things aren't meant to be summarized."

Not only an amazing singer, but he just has amazing words. It's hard not to agree with this blog though. When you see something amazing, you just want to remember it forever. They say that you should 'take a picture, it'll last longer', but that's not completely true. While a picture of something beautiful will be there until it is destroyed, it's always more beautiful when you see it in person. After you see something beautiful, sometimes pictures and words cannot describe it enough. The picture that you take with your mind; the picture in your heart, is the one that holds the true beauty.

I still like taking pictures though. Sometimes there are things that in real life, are not percieved as beautiful and artistic; on the other hand, when you take a picture, it can be what makes the object appear as something beautiful, even when it isn't. It seems like pictures make pretty things less real and plain things more beautiful.

If you even read this, thanks. And if you actually enjoyed it, you should look at that blog. It's really great.
