Every moment drags on with anticipation. And when you&#8217;re busy, being entertained, or simply not paying any attention to the time, it swishes by faster than you expect. I think time is subjective to the observer. No one experiences time in the same way. We may all have the same\u00a0amount of time in a day, but how we perceive it can be an entirely different story.<\/p>\n<p>Timing is crucial in photography. A moment too late and you miss the moment. Not having enough patience and you won&#8217;t capture anything worth holding onto. I find that time in photography and film is all just an illusion. I can make you feel like you spent an hour with me in a film, when in fact it was really exactly only two mintures. I can make a photo feel like time stood still, or as though time is running out. Perhaps time is all just an illusion as well?<\/p>\n<p>#time #illusion #waiting #unionstation #Toronto #clock #traveling #perception<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4091.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3702 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4091.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_union-4091\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4087.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3699 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4087.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_union-4087\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4070.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3698 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4070.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_union-4070\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4127.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3697 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4127.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_union-4127\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4090.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3696 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4090.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_union-4090\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4060.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3695 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4060.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_union-4060\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4069.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3694 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4069.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_union-4069\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4058.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3693 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4058-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_union-4058\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4086.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3692 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4086.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_union-4086\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4037.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3691 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AndreaMai_union-4037.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_union-4037\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever noticed that it&#8217;s only when you&#8217;re waiting for something to happen that time seems to pass by ever so slowly?
