On Tuesday, New Zealand came to a standstill at precisely the moment one week ago when a big earthquake brought death and destruction to Christchurch.
The devastation of lost ones and the cold feeling of knowing a friend is still out there is something that i wish to never have to fear or come across. Watching the news and reading about the NZ earthquake sent shivers down my spine. The image above tells me a few things, 1. that the world can do anything, specially when we least expect it and 2. that your world could end within seconds, so take that and go for what you want, want you believe in and what you dream of. For me it is the dream to become a photographer and live the life of excitement, laughter, fear and overwhelming experiences that photography can bring. This image as sasd as it is gives me the strength to go out there and live the experiences whilst i can.
