“Mono No Aware (物の哀れ) is a Japanese expression used to describe the transcience of all things and the gentle, sorrowful appreciation of life that comes with the realization that this impermanence is a fundamental truth. Photography by its very nature is an expression of this concept. After all, a photograph is nothing more than a reminder of a moment that is forever lost in time.”
