It used to be that sunrises and sunsets were some of the
most popular pictures taken. Nowadays, I
think both have lost out to the “Selfies and Ussies.” For that one person
that has lived in the forest with no cell phone or internet, a “Selfie” is a
self-portrait and an “Ussie” is a group self-portrait. Both types of photos are taken with a
smartphone and normally associated with some type of social networking. I am a
big believer in taking photos. Pictures
capture a moment in time in life that can never be reproduced. Even if you retake the photo, it will be a
little different.
Over the last few years, I’ve taken more photos than any other
time in my life. Most of mine photos are “Ussies” and others are pictures of
events. I know why I do now. I want to
ensure I capture the moment and the memory of the people and events I
experience. It all comes back to the most precious thing in the universe,
time. We all have a finite amount of
time. Once it is gone, it is gone.
Take that selfie.
Take that ussie. Don’t worry
about your hair or looking silly. Just
capture the moment. You’ll be glad you
did.
