the eye
this has no relation whatsoever to the horror movie with the same title. sometime ago, my friend and I were having a casual ‘crap’ session. it was something along the lines of buying a digital camera or a mobile cum digicam. as usual, we both had our different points of view on this matter. one thing, however, stuck with me. it was something we both agreed on. the eye, never takes a bad picture. it’s true. we tend to capture each and every moment in perfect clarity. the eyes are the lense and the mind, our digital canvas. this holds true for all emotions, sad, happy, angry and so forth. every moment is captured with one single image that is TRUE to the moment.
the best part of all, i get to keep them alongside me all the time. the sweet, the bitter and the crazy. just last night, as i was about to doze off, i suddenly had a recollection of memories driving my friend around. he loves to stick his elbow out of my car whenever the windows are down. i’ve told him time and time again, one day, a motorist is gonna take his hand off if he doesn’t keep it in. then i took things in my own hands by driving real close to this bush and he snapped at me for my attempt to have him arm-less. haha. i had a good chuckle at that one. ahh…beautiful memories.
everyday, i’m a photographer with my God given pair of eyes. i wonder how much space all my pictures would fill, if I were to store it on a hard drive? hell, i’d be broke i guess. i hope i will still be able to take pictures with my eyes when i’m too old to do anything else. the sad thing is, no one will ever see them in the same light as me.
