๐๐๐,๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โซ โฆ How do you measure a year? In photography terms, you might measure it in time-lapses, in retakes, in edits, or in memory cards. Every shot is a moment captured in time โ caught still, forever, between shutter and subject.
Photography is forgiving that way. Photographs donโt change people like time does; they allow fleeting moments to remain exactly as they were, a memoir of the emotion left in its place. Happiness, relief, contentment, love. If photography ever had a flaw, it would be that it assumes time would stop for anyone.
But alas, it does not. And so, we say goodbye to the officers who, unlike photographs, showed us what it means to change. Beyond perfection, what it means to be a photographer โ to run around venues looking for the perfect shot, to burst your eardrums trying to take photos of performers on the center stage, and most of all, to rise above hardship alongside fellow officers, both juniors and seniors alike. ๐
So, how about love? ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐.
Congratulations, seniors! This is where your journey begins. If youโre ever stuck in a rut, you can always find your way back to ๐๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ฌ. (char!)
