I take pictures because I want to remember.

I take pictures because I can look at them and instantly recall details I had forgotten.

I take pictures because there is something so breath-takingly, mind-numbingly cool about

(for a moment)

being able to freeze time.

I take pictures because time plays tricks on us all and
moments that I want to remember looking like this:

will somehow end up looking like this in my mind’s eye:

I want to remember it all.
But I know I can’t.

And so I photograph.
That’s why.
