DPC Diary: Three Years in Photos
Photos solidify onto pixels or film otherwise fleeting moments in the flow of time, moments we consider significant enough to grab onto as we hurtle forward. The photo on the left was the first picture I took after my accent wall got painted. I was finishing residency and this was the first moment I saw my brand color realized. The picture on the right could well be the first moment I saw my logo realized, but those who are more observant may have noticed the higher picture resolution and dimmed fluorescent bulb. These pictures in fact were taken three years apart and the picture on the right captures the moment I moved the final items out of the space which housed my practice for the last three years. We all love to take pictures because we know how fast time moves and how fleeting significant moments can be. The last three years have gone by truly in the blink of an eye and I’d like to share through photos some lessons I’ve learned along the way.
