yours truly

To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time

I think part of the reason people take photos because they’re afraid that moment will never happen again.

Not everything happens for a reason. Sometimes life just sucks.

I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company.

I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.

I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.
