Update 2: Getty & Christmas at the Toronto Beach.

Inspiration, Print, Teaching point

–

In October, I  provided an update to the above image, Christmas at the Toronto Beach, which I’d licensed over to Getty Images.  The original post can be found here.

Tonight, I discovered via the Getty Contributor website that the rights for this image have been purchased again, this time by a “fashion/textiles” company in France, for a period of three months.

Interestingly, the royalty fee paid was almost three times the amount of what the first company paid.  Hmmm… I’m beginning to re-think this whole Getty thing.

Funny enough, this image was taken with the Leica 28mm Summicron ASPH, a lens I used for only a very brief period of time.

Funnier still is the date that this latest royalty amount will be paid out:  Christmas Day.

Frames.

Inspiration, Leica 75mm Summilux (Canada 🇨🇦) f/1.4, Life's Little Moments, Teaching point

We exist in single frames of time, but they pass quickly and seamlessly and so we are unaware of most of them; occasionally, the discrete click of a camera shutter marks the capture of one.

And so we are bestowed with the power to linger over a moment, a memory.

Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, and sometimes we struggle to remember… but no matter how we are affected, we can’t help but think that our frames are finite, our frames are numbered.
