Why do I take

— why do I make…

pictures?

… it's because…

they are there

to be taken

— Mr Jamaican…

slices of moments

creativity awakened.

I'm on a journey

busy working the camera

— using my eye,

zooming with my feet…

and riding the lens

— with strangers,

family and sometimes,

even friends

I take photos because I'm a hoarder

and I can hoard all these moments together

and I can hoard and hoard them for ever

and I'll never, ever…

run out of space

I can take photos and analyse your face

and it will say something different

at noon than at magichour

even though it's in the same space

I'm having relationships with you

in virtual reality

because it's not my reality

— in my real life, I'm alone

I come alive when I'm in the zone

doing street photography

taking pictures of you

doing the things

I cannot do
