I’ve heard a lot recently about “living in the moment,” and I think that saying should be given more thought. We say all the time that we want to “live in the moment,” but do we really follow through with that? Do we really live in the here and now; do we really pay more attention to what’s going on around us right now than to what’s-her-name’s last text message or to how great this selfie is going to look on Facebook? I don’t think so. We get so distracted by things; we don’t stop to think about what’s happening right in front of us.
It’s yet another new year, 2014. What do I want to do with it? I want to live in the moment, be where I am. In the words of a fictional but, I think, wise photographer, “If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don’t like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it.”
