“Sleeping” by Glen Hansard

i was looking for a picture to post up. i don’t know what i was looking for - a beautifully taken picture, a picture that captivated a beautiful moment,…? and then i saw this picture and smiled.
i chose this picture because it made me smile.
i learned that with a camera you can capture seconds to even 45 minutes worth of moments in one picture. i don’t know the photography terms, but basically, some cameras have a setting where you can just leave it on the tripod and it will shoot picture after picture for however many seconds or minutes, but every single picture will only show up in one picture.
the effects can be really cool, but a part of me feels like that distorts the whole idea of capturing that one beautiful moment in time.
i think it’d be awesome to get more into photography. but in the end, my main intention is to capture the beauty of the world as it is - no tricks, no edits, no air brushing. just reality in all its’ wonder and glory.
Q: Do you believe that people like Stargirl really exist or is she a fantasy character?
A: Stargirl is as real as hope, as real as possibility, as real as the best in human nature.
