"Life is fun. You’ve got the picture to prove it." - 365 Project, Day 311

Life can be fun, and sometimes it's better not to have memories of the morning after, even if the previous night was worth it.

From an existential standpoint, photography is pretty useless.  It just reminds us of our finiteness and our own mortality.  It's depressing that a moment of joy is captured and that particular joy can never be experienced again.

However, this makes no difference.  We live our own life and we want to remember our moments.  It doesn't really matter what other people think.  When our life is over, that doesn't matter because we're living now and we want to have fun now.  The future, for the moment, is not important.  We can worry about the future later.

Today's addition of pixels and bytes.

A co-worker threw a party tonight for the fun of it, and it was a lot of fun.  A few people there enjoying playing around with my camera, and pretty much killed the battery in the process.  Before it died, I took this, which was pretty much as the night died away, also.  It's kind of sad-looking, but if you know it was taken at the end of a party, it becomes very indicative of pretty much every evening you've ever had at said parties.

Tomorrow shouldn't be too bad, but also shouldn't be too terrific.
