Sometimes the moment captured in time is not the moment you aim for.

  Sometimes just as the squirming 6 year old stills,

the curious toddler comes and places his forehead smack-dab in the centre of the camera.

Sometimes a crappy camera makes an otherwise fun, candid shot into a too-bright, blurry one.

Sometimes subjects are uncooperative.

Sometimes they moove (haha),

leaving you with the priceless photo of a headless beast

that serves no purpose whatsoever.

Sometimes, your subject is plain old naughty.

How exasperating!

Sometimes a weird haze shows up for no reason at all:

and Sometimes you get a whole ROOMfull of people,

and NOBODY is looking in the right direction!

Sometimes heads get cut off.

Sometimes it looks like you have to pee.

Sometimes, you look just plain crazy.

Sometimes, on top of everything else  –

the picture simply doesn’t do justice.

But see, I’ve learned something.

Imperfect pictures are simply proof:

     Life is messy.

And sometimes,

     You’ve just gotta get over it.
