Eason Chan: 沙龍

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo4zyjWTaUc&feature=related

This is a music video for Eason Chan's song, 沙龍.
沙龍 means taking photos along with a group of people that shares the same interest. However, the term 沙龍 is used so often in Hong Kong that people consider simply using a camera taking photos as 沙龍.
In this music video, the song is saying how you can capture every moment of your life with a camera. Each and every moment is unique on its own, and we should treasure every one of them because each photos represent a memory that cannot be recreated. This video shows the photos of a couple's relationship. The photos captured every moment: the sad, the happy, the foolishness and everything. The guy in this relationship is reminiscing about the time he and his ex girlfriend shared. Each and every moment were special, even if their relationship ended already. 
I really like how the whole music video was complied with just slides of different photos, and yet each photos link with each other to form a story. I also like how the photos weren't taken by a professional. Not all the photos have its focus point, and some of them were very blurry. I think this 'unprofessional' effect helps remind us that even ordinary people should take photos of out life. Having our life captured is not only a celebrity's privilege.
Even the smallest details can represent a big happening of someone's life. It doesn't matter if it was a very bad and unlucky day, we should use our cameras and capture those moments that make up our life. In the end, we have those photos to remind us of what we had. Sometimes, it's better to know what we had instead of living it. Like how the music video went, I think the guy in this video was satisfied that he had such memories in his life. They were all precious.
