The Photo Not Taken

The photo not taken

1.) What moment from your life do you most wish you had a photograph of? Describe an image to depict that memory.

2.)Describe the importance of the chosen moment from your life, and why no photograph exists.

For my photograph not taken, it is more of a photograph[s] not taken. For me, there are a few instances I wish I could have captured. I wish I could have those pure photos of my friends dying laughing or just together happy. I wish I had those photos of the hidden wonders and views I stumbled upon on the days I forgot to bring even my phone. I wish I had captured those family gatherings with all 22-26 cousins and not just so I could remember who is related to who. I wish I had captured the moon as I saw it those nights my old camera only saw it as a glowing orb. Some of these moments I may have just been stuck in, not even thinking of capturing them. Others possibly because I had an old camera, forgot my camera, or even didn't own one at the time. I wish I had these photos because friends can change and leave, hidden wonders can be forgotten, Family can separate or move away, and the moon or at least our view of it is always different. Everything can change but a picture captures those moments and keeps them.

 "What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever impossible to reproduce."-Karl Lagerfeld
