Fotico

Character, like a photograph, develops in darkness.

I wish that all of nature’s magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

What's up

To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it’s already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.

A tear contains an ocean. A photographer is aware of the tiny moments in a persons life that reveal greater truths. The camera makes you forget you’re there. It’s not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much. What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.

“Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure.”

— Tony Benn

The camera is an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don’t belong. It gives me both a point of connection and a point of separation. Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure. Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, just take another shot. It’s weird that photographers spend years or even a whole lifetime, trying to capture moments that added together, don’t even amount to a couple of hours.

Now there is more fashion. There is no so-called trends. Now chase after anything not necessary - nor for fashionable color nor the shape, nor for style. Here choose yourself like that, without any looking back, do your personal, home, small fashion, and all will be well.

Never fall in love with the idea. The idea often changes. If that idea that you are carrying, is not working, always, always, always have another.
