Cat and the decising moment

Study history gives me a different perspective and may be different definition about moments.
Many great photographers, some of those were the most memorable and known photojournalists, icons, great many people praised for their images of capturing the deciding moment, me around them.
And why this article?
A slice from a drilled ice cylinder from the frozen land of Greenland, scientists are able to study the weather, the composition of atmosphere, some life pattern on earth backdate to hundreds of centuries or millennium ago, or even much older. Assemble many of those slices, the scientists may be able to draw a convincing history of climate pattern on earth of the given period of time. Study of history told us where we came from, and hopefully gives a clearer guide as where we are going to. And so the deciding moment, does it necessarily more important than what happened a moment ago or later? Or what happened is a freezing moment not matter to what was captured but who captured it. A powerful image is powerful because it has the magic to knock on our heart, to coax our emotion and we felt the sensation. Like a Mona Lisa smile, does it really matter Da Vinci portrait her the most deciding moment? Probably not, but does it matter?
This picture, taken with a Leica M8 with the unique Carl Zeiss Hologon 16/8 machined to mount on M8, a camera carries a rich tradition of being the most cherished camera for those shots of decisive moments in our memory.
It was a lovely mid winter day in Bangkok, along the canal, I walked by this small spot and saw the 2 cats stared on me by the window of a temporary worker's domitory, I slowly pick up the camera hanging on my neck and fire with one picture, just one, this one. I wanted to shot another one, but one of the cat disappear, leaving me with the cat by the window and I shot a few more. I can't say I like the first one the best, or the second one, because they are all good in its own way.
History is exactly the same way, it is sequence of consequences. One moment lead to another. The moment itself carries no particular significance if none is interact with it. As the case with the 2 pictures I shot, some see the picture with 2 cats more dramatic, some see the picture of one cat and the photographer in direct confrontation more interesting. Important things is how one feels the picture.
