do you see what i see?


what´s tha point of it at all? art... si... pode ser... chmen... see... my point of view... well... that´s just how i see it... i mean... how i don´t see it... i mean... what i´m looking for... or not... because it´s there... all around me... and you... us... like spirits... souls... movements... blurs... ghosts... you name it... call it what you want... i don´t even care if you care... it´s a selfish thing... you know... single child... invisible friend and all... maybe that´s why i take pictures... paint... film... write this shit... excuse my french... or don´t... if i did any of this to please people... i would be rich... it´s really not that hard... you just gotta make everyone look good... young... smart... famous... just like in a marriage photo album... boring... plain... where is everyone? dead already? faded... forget it... i love life... i love people... i want to know you better... learn who you are... know yourself... just like my surfboard is a tool to help me ride a wave... my camera is a tool to help me see you... there´s nothing to brag about here... no art statement to be made... no money... all the oppòsite... the closer i get the least you like it... that´s human nature... you don´t really want to stare at yourself in the mirror for too long... just like you don´t want me to leave the shutter open for too long... the more intriguating it looks the more interesting... it´s almost tribal... taking people souls away... that´s why i don´t manipulate... play around... i take it seriously... think about it... it´s not neutral... i´m involved in it... it´s my point of view... my vision... place... time... life... it´s almost as if it is my soul that´s taken away... it´s very personal... emotional... hard to share sometimes... difficult to understand... so i´m gonna keep trying to see with my camera through all these people and places... i´m gonna keep searching for everything i can´t see... like a spirit coming out of a fireplace and the door to another dimension... that´s my vision... to each their own...
