An End to the Silence
Been busy; life gets in the way often, doesn’t it? I think that’s why I was never keen on taking pictures: the effort to constantly document everything for results that aren’t really worth it. After all, when you’re six feet under the photos hardly matter.
LIVE – LIVE – LIVE
I am INTRIGUED by physics, and is it terribly nerdy that I find this news exciting? Liveblogging @ Symmetry.
I was trained to be an historian. Photos matter— archives and documents always matter, even if only as reminders of lost time.

I used to be the sort who always tried to document everything. I missed most of my offsprings first birthday because I was intent on capturing every second on film. So, a balance between documenting and living became necessary.
I’m not keen on the “Take a photo on every street in Manhattan to put on my MySpace!”-which is really more to what my statement refers.
Secrets intrigue me: the unrecorded is likely vastly superior to the recorded. I like collecting them: furtive little mysteries, the most intimate things people can share.
