Click and Snap

Sitting on your sister’s bed in a new red knit dress, eating refried fish with soy sauce on a rainy Sunday evening.

Click.

The streetlamp light through the tree outside the house where you’re having your first barbeque party.

Lying on your stomach on the roof a car, talking hopes and dreams with a buddy like only two 18 year olds can.

The amazing number of stars you can see from an oil palm plantation at night.

Being spun around in a shopping cart on New Year’s Eve by your best mates.

I have a thing about taking mental snapshots for moments significant in a way that you know but sometimes can’t describe. Absorb the scene, let it sink through your eyes, hold it in your breath for a moment…and snap.

I like to believe that at the end of things, the road, whatever, apart from that bit where you finally find out how it all works out, there will also be a re-run of these pictures. Should be a good show.

Btw, can you believe it's March already?
