Life witnessed...

When it comes to most technology, specifically,computer technology and patience...I am the living bad example.There is no mixing of the two. My friends either laugh at me or they shake their head in frustration at my ignorance and lack of willingness to learn. All that aside here I am breaking my own boundaries and writing a blog..on a computer! Watch me grow, watch me shine!

Now when it comes to photography and film, I am absolutely gaga (damn that woman for destroying that lovely word for the rest of us). But it's more about the visual and kinaesthetic appeal for me. Maybe it's a shallow love but it really gets my mind processing. Photographs capture a thought in time. For some it may be vanity, for others it may be a need to capture an emotion. They are all memories none the less. An instant tangible moment in time. Film requires a longer journey, a longer memory lane. Both can alter our realities and both can be fake depictions of a moment in time.

If we could watch our lives through a hidden camera in a series of moments with all the world watching, would we be proud of the life we have lead so far? Would we want to do things differently? Would we be able to laugh with everyone else at the things that are embarrassing? Would we be able to control our anger when criticised? Would we be ashamed at being caught out? Could we forgive ourselves as well as others who have hurt us? Could we change our perception of our life? Could we handle the truth?

It makes me wonder how many secrets I keep locked away in my mind and heart. I am relieved I have the mercy of the universe for this privacy, especially of my thoughts. It takes a split second to form an opinion and a second to make that thought an action. Next thing you know it's a habit and finally develops into your character. Life is so short, how many negative characters have we tried on? Technology is like life, the more effort we put into understanding it and how it works, the more we can use these new skills to create something meaningful, if only for your self , but hopefully for others too. *click* That's all it takes to capture something meaningful which can be enjoyed by everyone. Something we can be proud of. A good legacy to leave in this magnificent existence we know so little about. And it's free...

Do it. Use it. Be it.

Ps. Nike have nothing on me!
