An unexpected source of inspiration


A Thousand Words from Ted Chung on Vimeo.

What do you think happens after this? Is she going to call? Did she leave the camera behind on purpose? Or, is it too late and she's gone? Maybe she never intended to leave the camera and she'll never know that the guy found her. She missed her chance when she didn't say anything to him.
This makes me think of all those missed opportunities that we never learn about. Not the mistakes that become clear after a while, but the decisions we didn't take, the lives we didn't live. Do they get lived in a parallel universe, or are they lost forever?

  1. Oh, this is great.
    I like to think that she called him and they lived happily ever after.
    Unfortunately a more likely outcome would be that the package never gets forwarded.
    No, I'm going with the first option !

  2. very interesting question...what does happen to those lives...since i actively believe that i have a whole other life going on in my dreams, i'm with you on the parallel universe notion...
