I thought I was taking a photo of a wave. Then this seagull flew into my lens at the exact moment I clicked the shutter. An instant of synchronicity. An instant of wonder.
Like the moment of conception.
Like the moment of death.
A breath. Then no breath.
I can't get it out of my mind.
Nothing before it and nothing after it.
Just his last breath.
Imagined.
Stuck in my mind.
A seagull in flight
above the wave.
Snap.
Gone.
But
forever alive
in that
instant.
Happy Christmas everyone. Back in 2017.
