A snapshot is a usually spontaneous shot of a moment which, through the magic of film, becomes frozen in time.
Besides accomplishing the obvious goal of preserving memories, snapshots can also provide us with a unique perspective of people, events, and memories.
Imagine for a minute that you have the ability to freeze moments of your day in snapshot form.
If you were standing behind a camera taking a snapshot of that moment, what would you see?
Next imagine looking through the camera lens of another person. If they were behind the camera, what would they capture in their snapshot? Would you see a different picture?
This is especially true in looking at moments filled with emotion. A view from the outside can often provide a much-needed shift in perspective.
It's worth taking a step back to imagine a different view. Try it. Carry a camera around with you for a day if it helps. You'll be surprised what you "see."
