Glimpses of a World Lost

I often find myself desiring to take a photograph but one object or another has been placed in the middle of my artistic vision. The only feeling I have is dismay. I've come to realize, though, that my dismay is less about my ideal photograph than the disparity between reality and my ideal world. Perhaps I better start living in the world that's here instead of hunting for glimpses of a reality that is no longer present...But I don't think I will. The search for these portals to that lost world shall continue. I will persist to dismay that the world is not what it could be, but I will not let my dream slip away without pursuit.
