Watched the movie One Hour Photo again the other day. Very interesting movie with some great little photography snippets... (slightly de-americanised)
"I'm sure my customers never think about it...
but these snapshots are their little stands against the flow of time.
The shutter is clicked...
the flash goes off and they've stopped time.
If just for the blink of an eye.
And if these pictures have anything important to say to future generations, it's this...
I was here.
I existed.
I was young.
I was happy and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture.
Most people don't take snapshots of the little things...
the used plaster...
the guy at the petrol station...
the wasp on the jelly...
but these are the things that make up the true picture of our lives.
People don't take pictures of these things."
I'm also very much enjoying Wildest Dreams on BBC iPlayer at the moment..
.. right up my alley! .. and if they need contestants for next years series I shall be applying!!
