The difference between looking in a hurry and seeing with presence

We move constantly.
Through streets, through people, through days.

When I stop, everything changes.

The camera begins to notice what was once just background.
A wall becomes more than a wall.
A window becomes more than a window.

Photography requires presence.
It asks for attention without urgency.

It is not about chasing extraordinary moments,
but allowing ordinary ones to reveal themselves.

When I slow down, I realize the world doesn’t need to be spectacular to be meaningful.
It only needs to be seen.

The camera becomes an extension of a patient gaze.
And photography turns into a quiet form of meditation.
