I came across this photo I shot back around 1993, and it got me thinking. I’m grateful I took a wider shot of this place, but I also wish I had taken more. The place in this photo is no longer painted. At the time, it seemed like it would be there forever. Whenever we wanted to paint, it was there.

We forget that things are temporary. Places go away or change, and the people you hang out with drift apart. Even things that seemingly stay the same change in some way. If we’re lucky, we have photos or videos of those times.

Think about the places you go right now, the people you hang out with, and the things you do. Then think about how someday things might be different. These places may not be around, and these people may drift apart.

It might help you appreciate these times a bit more. Take more photos and create more memories.
