This week, Siobhan challenges to capture life’s glow. Take a look at her beautiful and creative post.
One very rainy night in NYC, I went out specifically to take photos. The glow of this entrance to Grand Central, with its almost-perfect reflection, captivated me.
People maneuvered past oncoming pedestrians with their umbrellas.
Walking with a purpose clears the mind. You’re forced to focus. You’re sharing the sidewalk with umbrellas open, trying to get where you’re going as fast and as dry as possible. There’s no other distraction.
This man in the glow of his food cart in the Times Square chaos. He was lost in his thoughts. Something was very wrong, but here he was, forced to focus on selling his pretzels and hot dogs to excited tourists. We’ve all had moments like this. Work is a healthy way to get your mind off your troubles, but sometimes it’s harder than others.
My wife Aixa in the glow of her cell on an Uber ride through Buenos Aires. There’s something about seeing someone in the glow of the surrounding lights that lets us capture their unguarded thoughts.
On that rainy night in front of Grand Central, everything else in my life disappeared for a couple of minutes. The glow of lights makes for great photography, but sometimes it’s nice to put down the camera and just enjoy the moment. Maybe you’ll reflect on life just a little differently, just for a few moments. And who knows, maybe you’ll end up in the glow of someone else’s photo. You’ll never know it, but your image may stay with them for a lifetime.
