i am testing some principles and am excited to share more about what i am learning. but first i wanted to offer up an experiment. would you consider taking a moment to play?
i love this :) today's what matters. have you read thomas merton's Rain and the Rhinoceros? It's an essay in the book called "raids on the unspeakable" and its about the 'present festival' that we are living in all the time. seriously changed my life. :) i'm a photographer near you guys--- i'm based in La Mirada!
You know what is very interesting? Simply asking this question, in this multiple-choice form, made me realize that I *DO* value tomorrow more than today, even though I almost immedaitely answered today because I knew it was the "correct" answer... Of course TODAY is almost over; I shot a wedding this morning and am exhausted and will probably take a pre-dinner nap right now. So if I could be allowed to consider the next 24 hours to be today instead of tomorrow, I'll vote for TODAY... =Matt=
Today Today Today! The past is gone, and we might not see tomorrow, so I feel we must cherish the moment NOW. Use the time we have together wisely, and make it known how much the people in your life mean to you.
today, we are the compilation of every bit of our yesterdays. the memories, the experiences. how quickly the present "today" becomes the past (more quickly than an exhale, it takes than a second...less than a millisecond).
we are a husband & wife photog team. we are drawn to an editorial style with a vintage flare. we love. we fight. we are constantly reminding ourselves to enjoy the story... the now.
I am tempted to put "tomorrow" but we are not promised tommorow! That is why we have to make each day "today" matter.
