I remember

The very second this image was taken… I remember the white walls and dark oak wooden floors… the big victorian window cast wide open to let the summer sun sweep in… a musician playing spanish guitar rhythmically outside as people meandered by throwing coins in his little hat… us clapping and cheering at the end of each song… the waiters buzzing attentively as they delivered the biggest Caesar salads we had ever seen… my friend and I enjoying a chilled glass of wine and basking in the warmth of a day spent together…

All that captured in the click of a shutter and remembered with perfect recall even after all this time.

Photography does that for you… doesn’t it… that very click to capture an image always holds so much more within than simply colours on the screen or printed on a page… a tiny trap door straight to that little place where all your memories lay… the sights… the sounds… the smells… the emotions… and most of all… the people you are lucky enough to share them with… what’s not beyond magical about that ?
