“A good poem in some sense is a photograph where the focus is on the metaphysical aspects of its theme. Hence the good poet is the one who captures such things with his shutter almost like a camera, fairly unconsciously, almost in a supplant of self-awareness.”
—Joseph Brodsky

I am an obsessive hunter. I take five to ten photographs a day, sometimes fifty—accumulating hundreds of gigabytes over time. Not for beauty, but for ephemerality. Stop, present. You are not so much magnificent as unrepeatable.
