Pictures From a Moving Car

Through open window, lifetimes travel fast – the landscapes of the world pass in a blaze of color, hurried strangers, outlined rays of sunlight make the city lines contrast with skylines. Like these scenes that flicker past, the thoughts within my head, the hopes of days that come and go, to capture in a phrase will hold them close, to try to ever last. Though often blurry, pictures can decode the truth obscured in colored trails of light and offer us a clearer look inside. For no more wasted hours on endless roads, for no more beauty missed in moments’ flight, my lens, my word, a constant by my side.
