This electricity in the air

“It was one of those days when it’s a minute away from snowing and there’s this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it.  And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it.  For fifteen minutes.  And that’s the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and… this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever.  Video’s a poor excuse, I know.  But it helps me remember… and I need to remember…  Sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world I feel like I can’t take it, like my heart’s going to cave in.”

Written by Allan Ball for the iconic plastic bag scene in the movie ‘American Beauty’. I tried to express my feeling about this incredible scene into this photograph.
