Remembrance Sunday | The Sunday I Stopped Watching and Started Capturing

in Reflexiones de Vida3 days ago (edited)

Today was one of those days that quietly surprises you a day that started like any other Sunday but turned into something I personally will carry with me for a long time.

For the first time I stepped into a world I had only ever watched from the outside the media team.

I have been the media team and their doings on church pages across various social media like Facebook TikTok and beyond always behind the lens always capturing moments for others to cherish. Today I was one of them.

And right away I noticed something that nobody really talks about the fact that media team lives in a completely different Sunday. While the congregation sings they're adjusting angles.

Procession Inside The Church

While the Word is being preached they're making sure the stream doesn't drop. While offerings are being given they're already moving to the next shot.

Opening Hymns

They don't get to fully participate in church activities because their participation is the service they offer.

Choir Rendition

My assignment was clear capture the people unaware and up close. Candid shots. Real moments. No posing no pretending. Just life as it happens inside those walls.

Praise and worship

I moved through every moment of the service the procession in the opening hymns the prayers the choir rendition the praise the preaching all the way to the closing hymns and the walk back out.

Preaching

By the end I had finished taking close to 50 pictures and I edited every single one of them for it to be posted.

Closing Hymns

Was it stressful ? Absolutely. My feet knew every corner of that church by the time service ended.

But looking back at those 50 frames each one a frozen breath of worship. I realized I hadn't missed the service at all.

I had preserved it.

All pictures were taken and edited with my device
