Found Footage

About taking selfies on a beach in South Korea 

The gigantic floral dress that looks like an armory stiff hanging around her lanky frame

Drinks were brought and had to be photographed 

The weather was not good the sun made only a cursory appearance 

Kids were arranged to be photographed in front of the cafe, the sea in the back

It made a lot of sense as the light was coming from there

My jealousy: the world is so beautiful that you want to copy it. All of it.

The photo crisis of 22 that followed on the heels of the photo crisis of 21… when this machinery had suddenly stopped, and I found absolutely no reason to take a photo 

A sunset: 78%, a landscape: 76%, a little girl playing with a cat: 56%, a woman breast-feeding: 54%, a folk dance: 46%, a weaver at work: 39%, a famous monument: 27%, a first communion: 26%, a snake: 20%, a rope 16%, a metal frame: 15%, cabbages: 12%, a butcher’s stall: 9%… a car accident: 1%

The first generation that experienced the world through a screen before experiencing it without a simulacra 

This tiny mirror in my hand.
