“No one can advise or help you–no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of you heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: MUST I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet the solemn question with a strong, simple ‘I MUST,’ then build your life in accordance with this necessity; your whole life, even into its humblest and most indifferent hour, must become a sign and witness to this impulse. Then come close to nature. THEN, AS IF NO ONE HAD EVER TRIED BEFORE, TRY TO SAY WHAT YOU SEE AND FELL AND LOVE AND LOSE.”

- Rilke

"For me it's important to show what life feels like, not what it looks like. Maybe that quest is for that truth that lies beyond the fact, beneath the skin. That thing that is true to everyone."

- Michael Ackerman, End Time City

PS: I've set most of my archive on private to start again on a clean slate, so if you would like to see those old shots, let me know.
