Thanks to a digital camera with a time lapse mode, I’ve developed a fascination with time lapse photography. It presents everyday life in a whole new perspective. Seemingly stationary things, like clouds, move in beautiful ways, and things we’re used to seeing move in realtime, like traffic, move in patterns that can only be seen at high speed.
