Assignment #8- 1/100s (one hundredth of a second)

In this assignment we focused on the technical aspect, rather then on the narrative one. One hundred of a second is the setting of the shutter speed on the camera, that we chose to take all the pictures with for this assignment. But in it's technicality there is also a narrative. On hundred of a second is tiny fraction of time. Those little fractions build seconds, minutes, hours…years of our life.
The camera let's us grab this impossible to perceive moments and immortalize them for years. Perhaps in that tiny fraction we witnessed something that happened only then and will not happen again for years, perhaps in this tiny fraction we realize the beauty of something that was in front of our eyes for years.

" time, time, time... an old song from tom waits, and the base of photography.
a hundred of a second, it's nothing, just a little nothing stolen by chance, just the time to glance at somebody"
