Photography is magic. Looking back to captured moments through its focused lenses, we are easily transported into the past.
We are drawn into photographs as we relive an event or a take on our everyday lives. Sometimes they evoke emotions in us, feelings that flow shallow or run deep.
When we view photos of ourselves, we become more aware of our ever-changing and continually evolving passage through time.
When we see photos of others, we become more aware of the importance and impact of all our relationships.
A mere glimpse can turn into a deep, reflective gaze, like looking into a crystal ball or scrying mirror at what once was. Even those who have died now stand in our gaze.
There is magic in photography.
