(avoid) prolonged exposure

We are speeding up you know.

Time

is felt differently then that of our great 

grand parents.

It's funny,

people used to think 

if you could get a camera

 to take a picture fast enough, 

that you could capture sprites, 

fairies

and the restless dead 

upon those glass surfaces.

machines behaving as cameras 

interpret and record time 

into a different 

way of seeing, 

an alien way.

Fact can often 

act stranger than fiction 

in the right situations.

The universal neutonian, 

einsteinian, 

hawkian systems 

lain bare at

40,000 frames per second

an unbroken sequence of 

momento mori

reveal invisible experiences.

what if we go 

the other way? 

what can be revealed 

not through slicing time

into incomprehensible fractions, 

but through compressing seconds 

or minutes

into a single frame.

through the compression 

of time itself 

into a single moment? 

what will we see?
