"Ephemeral"
I thought I had a very clever idea what to shoot, to illustrate the concept of "ephemeral".
First I planned to shoot the smoke rising from an extinguished candle. But very soon I found out, I don't have home studio equipments good enough to take a shot like that.
Then I went for a long walk around cemetery, to find something like withered flowers. And I did found flowers, and plenty of other nice things to photograph. But I just was not sure if that was a good idea either.
Then on my way home, some white items on the ground caught my attention. I first thought they are mushrooms. It turned out they are tossed away plastic cups.
So, the story is this. First we wait approximately 100 million years to get some crude oil. We pump it out from the ground. Then we refine it into plastic, like disposable drinking cups. And finally we toss it away. A huge amount of work and effort are done, just to get a cup for a short moment of use, no longer than one hour or so. That is surely ephemeral, I think! And after all, the consequences are not...
