“You know there are moments when time stands still, and you hold your breath and hope it will wait for you.” Dorothea Lange
We’ve all taken photographs of images that we hope won’t ever change… they are deeply embedded in our memories. Similarly, there are moments in life or at work when we gain an understanding of something that we want to remember and appreciate forever: these are often centered around things we do for the first time and which are often life changing. The Mirage was the first big hotel I opened: on the day before it opened, after more than two years of hard work and preparation, I remember standing in the lobby and wishing that pristine moment would never end. In the end, it did, but everything associated with that memory has stayed with me for more than 30 years. Time stands still when big things happen or are realized, and the key is to let that experience become a part of you, helping to guide your actions long after it’s gone. These can add to the passion you have for going on and achieving new milestones. Make sure you stop and savor the important things that happen to you today.
Dorothea Lange (1895 – 1965): American documentary photographer and photojournalist
