In 30 seconds...

So much can happen in 30 seconds. So much time passes in 30 seconds yet we see it as such a small amount of time. what can we do in 30 seconds?

-Give your cat a good petting.
-Think a lot of thoughts.
-Pour a glass of water.
-Burn a poptart.
-Fold a blanket.
-Take a picture.

This is a focus on what you can do in 30 seconds. I had an experience taking a picture that really changed the way I see the world work. I kinda see things in slow motion now.

I was on my way home from orchestra and the fog was thick, very thick. I got home, grabbed my tripod, camera, and headed out the door. I ran down the street. Out of breath at the top of a hill, I set up my tripod and set the shutterspeed on my camera for 30 seconds. *Cli-*(30 seconds of selince)...
*-ick*

That was the longest 30 seconds in my life. But it was well worth it. When I saw the result I jumped for joy. People driving by probably thought some nice thoughts about me. But it was well worth that also.
