It all makes sense. I always thought there’s something so special about your photos in your newsletters 🧚

"So this is what I do. In order not to disappear I love other people with my eyes. Through images. My camera becomes a lover that sees the hidden things in plain sight, the beauty and change and joy and love and sadness and reflects it back to them.

That way, I feel like I too, exist."

Damn... I find my own voice and story in every word that you said. How I feel about photography, how I feel about being seen and remembered. Thank you for sharing this! :)

This reminds me of a movie that really had an impact on me when I was younger. It wasn't a great movie, but there was a line in it that always stayed with me. Two of the characters were asking why people get married, and if they believed in love, and one of them said to the other "I think we want a witness to our lives. And when we get married, we promise to someone "your life will not go unnoticed, because i will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed, because I will witness it"" and I always thought that was really beautiful and resonated with why I later chose to become a photographer. It's also why I am often sad at how few photos I have of me. <3
