Carpe Diem


We spoke of carpe diem in AP Literature, and I realized another way to seize the day is through photography. With a click, one can capture a moment in time that will pass instantly and be, from then on, unattainable. To seize the day is to seize the moment; we often are too rushed to appreciate the small things in life. We pass by a flower without seeing its petals or another person without acknowledging their presence. To capture a moment is to notice the value a single object can have.
