Transience

I am fascinated by clouds and clocks on old photographs - perhaps because they can be understood as symbols of the transience and continuous passage of time.

Transience is as old as eternity.

"Casper, 'mono no aware' is the Japanese aesthetic awareness of the sad gentle transience of things." "Give me an example, David." "It's like the time that I sipped 'crème de menthe' at a café near the Palace of Versailles."

I never cease to be amazed at the transience of our mortal life.
