A dull, unfocused image


passing by
so many years
so, many years on the same road, so
you don`t have to turn your head and see
the known itinerary behind your eyes
the known days, days and days going by
just passing by
your life, just passing by...

A dull, unfocused image reflecting your dull, unfocused moment
toxic swans
swimming in the obscure pool of the most obvious nothingness.

Richard Avedon



"A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth."

"If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up."
