What an excellent word to build an essay around. I usually think of waste when I hear the word ephemera. Printed paper, cards, containers, pins, etc. to be discarded after viewing. Your essay isn’t about things we can touch or hold, it’s more about things we can see but can’t possess. The first image sets the tone for this collection of observations. Moments like these temporarily surround us all the time but few appreciate them. Capturing, organizing, and presenting them in a small cohesive group brings awareness to amount of information we process on a daily basis. Images of as found and candid moments are what makes photography, as an art form, so attractive. These are often one time events that can’t be recreated. You have presented us with a unique perspective that I do appreciate.

It almost works, but it doesn't come together quite enough to be believable.

Voted earlier, this photo was very interesting to me, I like how the guy was blurred in motion and how the photo was just blended together like it belonged.
Wonder how many photos you used? Turned out awesome:-))

Interesting, but I don't like the low contrast feel where there is purple here.

Very strange.

Just a bit too tight on the framing for my taste.
