18 Lifelike Cinemagraphs You Will Stare at Forever

What if every moment could live on eternally? People love taking pictures and videos to capture and remember the best parts of their lives. However, photographer and film producer Julien Douvier likes to take that a step further by making these moments, like trains rumbling down a track or a plane taking off, now last through infinity via creative cinematography.

Douvier assembles lifelike GIFs that replay each wonderful moment over and over again in a perfect loop. His artwork also seems to be getting eternally reblogged here on Tumblr too.
