Leaving a Mark
We leave traces everywhere. Some vanish in moments, others last beyond our lifetime. A footprint in the sand fades with the tide, while a carved name on stone outlives generations.

Capturing Life: The Strange Art of Freezing Time
Imagine a world before photography—before the snap of a shutter could capture the smallest fraction of a second. To immortalize a moment, one would need the meticulous hand of a painter. Each brushstroke became an interpretation of reality. It was filtered through emotion and memory. And before that? Only the mind’s eye could hold onto…

It’s time to write my blog before the time runs out. At some point during human history someone felt the need to start recording time. It was no longer enough to just exist and react to the elements in nature, but some kind of adherence to the changes in the earth’s trajectory and rotation needed…
