Reviving Those Strangers at a Train Station - Nytimes's review of Brief Encounter by Noël Coward, adapted and directed by Emma Rice invokes a strong desire in me to be audience to this performance. Of course that'd require a $1000+ plane ticket to travel halfway across the world to witness this aesthetically pleasing beauty.

My first interaction with Brief Encounter, which is originally a film made in 1945, came after watching The History Boys where Scripps and Posner acted out a scene from it, earning a semi-impressed, semi-bored, "God knows why you learned Brief Encounter" reaction from Irwin. Everything other exposure to this play comes from Wikipedia and the internet at large. Now this review adds to the appeal of the play, carefully (and selectively) constructed in my head.

A need to share this picture - there's something striking about it, something that captures the mind and opens doorways to the world of imagination. Stories told from behind the lens, capturing every range of emotion put on display, each telling its own tale; of joy, sorrow, heartbreak, misery, comedy, hubris, catharsis and the likes...

One day I'd really like to own a camera of my own, focus on the center point of my lief and tell my own story from behind the lens.

One day...
