Moments cannot be captured...

Recently, I was involved in a community theater play. One performance night, standing in the wings of the stage, I was awaiting my cue to enter. As I stood there (only feet from the stage and my fellow actors I remind you), one of our fairy performers walked up to me with a handful of sour cream and onion potatoe chips-- one headed for her mouth. Choking back the laughter that could surely be heard by the entire audience had I released it, I could hear a faint "crunch, crunch, crunch..." She held out a chip offering it me, but in that instant, all that I could wish for was a camera. A camera to capture that little moment of comedy. All at once, I realized that no camera would ever be able to capture such a moment. I love photography; it's quite a hobby of mine. However, my Canon could never have captured the setting, the sounds, the situation, the sheer irony. It is only my privilege to own such a memory. My lesson- cherish them: because, as likely demonstrated by this post, they cannot be captured or easily conveyed. Thanks Tiffy ;D
