Jing Quek's 'OhMyGod' photo series is a collection of images that showcase the photographer's impeccable sense of timing. Each photo is a perfectly-timed moment, a one-shot art wonder that either exemplifies the aftermath of a big moment--like the women covered in piles of leaves and coins--or the moment itself.
My favorite are the large-scale group shots. They remind me of zany team photos, only far cooler.
Implications - With society consumed by a fast-paced lifestyle, taking time to enjoy the small pleasures in life is difficult. Products that give consumers a taste of these minute joys are greatly appreciated for the vast majority of busy individuals. Companies would be wise to create products that give buyers a sense of enjoyment from these areas that many consumers rarely have time to enjoy.
