the first camera i ever picked up was my father’s old yashica which had been lying neglected in a cupboard in our house for years. the beauty of seeing the world through a viewfinder, even though the camera lacked a film roll, was an exciting experience through my childhood. since then it has evolved into a love of storytelling through photography. it is fascinating to note the interaction of a person with the space around him and the elements that make up this space. sometimes these come together to result in an image that is poetically beautiful. the camera is simply a tool that brings out that poetry.

pablo the nihilista

pablo is bald with two large rings that droop from either ear. he has next to nothing to say or if he does he never speaks it. he has the appearance of a large old satyr who lolls in the twilight before the dancing nymphs. he sees little or no worth in existence and believes it is better for a being never to have been born at all.
