Eternity at a Moment -The Vision of 60 Photographers- Concept
Sixty photographers, spotlighting and giving form to that fleeting ‘essence’ that would otherwise escape our attention.
The captured ‘moment’ is a glimpse of the ‘eternity’ it evokes.
The photographer’s eye that is focused on the ephemeral - what does it tell us?
Over the past 60 years, Tamron, with its ‘New Eyes for Industry,’ has been distinguished by its highly creative products, continuously setting those ‘eyes’ on illuminating the future.
This milestone anniversary is an occasion to not only reflect on Tamron’s history, but to mark the start of the next phase of Tamron’s evolution.
In this project, 60 photographers used Tamron's 18-270mm Di II VC PZD (Model B008) to capture how they perceive Eternity at a Moment. Their creations will be displayed on Tamron's special website and at a photographic exhibition.
For a photographer, time itself is an eternal theme. The interpretations of Eternity at a Moment by these 60 photographers are certain to be diverse and thought-provoking expressions, and Tamron is pleased to showcase each of their compelling viewpoints.
