Frozen in Time




When I look at pictures...the people in the photos look all happy...or sometimes just straining smiles for the sake of taking the pictures...I wonder, what were they thinking at that moment? I look at some pictures of me, from a year ago...two years ago...three years...etc...what was I thinking? The moment a camera flashes and takes a picture....that picture represents the physical timestop....a frozen figure on a piece of smooth paper...or, now these days...on the screen...but what's missing is the initial feeling, when the picture was taken. What were the emotions? I see smiles of the people in the photos...but, when I see their eyes...they tell a different story...give a different side of an entire picture.
