Sunset hues by the beach in Mombasa, Kenya.

“ I guess what I like the most is the ability to capture a moment;

Delayed flights had their own saving grace when I got to meet a friend from old.

…the ability to stop time; because sometimes moments can get too big for us.

In frame Brenda Wangari and I. The extrovert friend who had me adopted 🥹

Y’know, we get scared and we run, we fold, do the wrong thing; we say the wrong thing… and then just like that, the moment has passed.

Cue for Adawnage’s Safari… 🎧

So I guess I just like having the ability to pause a moment for forever in the hopes that the impossibility of just getting back to it; doing it over.”
