You were appearing in the shadow of my youth
but who were you?
You did not know yet but
you were trying to be
though you were hardly
you were reacting mainly
to what you were told
or what you had heard
or what you believed
everything but
what was inside of you

The advertisement was talking loudly, in the middle of this path, while the road blurred before my eyes which were trying to catch up with the silence I had come to find, to crush the hubbub in which I was participating as much as the others I was forced to acknowledge. Nevertheless, it was necessary to imprison this moment on the camera, I would come back to it later, I would remember the white letters on the red sign, the silence and the emotion of the moment.

I was going somewhere but I forgot where, suddenly I wanted to rest under the sky, in the sun, to taste the spirit of the times, listening to the noises of the city, to almost fall asleep in the buzz of life and to stop worrying about the present.
photo: Pohara, weeds are drawing a delicate painting against the blue of the sky
we could not have known
that a piece of sand dune
would have the immense power
to transform a moment
thanks to just a brush stroke
into a painting of the light movementsof the wind
