A moment is something that doesn’t last.

You can’t set it up.
You can’t come back to it later.

It’s there—and then it’s gone.

What to Look For

Moments are often small.

• Someone laughing, just before they look away
• A gesture, a glance, a pause
• Wind moving through something
• A brief change in light or expression

They don’t announce themselves.

You have to notice them as they happen.

Your Task

Take one photo today that captures a moment.

Not something posed.
Not something still.

Something in between.

It might be:

• A person mid-action
• A candid expression
• Movement—walking, turning, reaching
• A brief interaction between people

You’re not just photographing what is there.

You’re photographing when it happens.

Keep It Simple

You might miss it the first time.

That’s part of it.

Stay a little longer than you normally would.
Watch instead of rushing.

Be ready—but don’t force it.

A Thought to Carry With You

A good photo shows what something looks like.

A meaningful one shows when it happened.
