Do you know that unexplainable feeling you get, feeling some sort of natural high? When you look at everything and it all seems surreal. And you feel like you're in a movie. You feel like you can see and feel everything but you can't be touched. That feeling, with the perfect song, and the perfect scene, and the perfect people. Where you feel the most alive. Such a thing that moves you, and renders you speechless. At that moment you are dazed and you wouldn't choose to be anywhere in the universe but where you are at that moment. That infinite feeling, in that infinite moment. That is what we live for.
I never chose to take pictures because everyone else was doing it. I never chose photography for money. I never chose it to show off (despite what others might think). I chose it because for the first time I found an outlet where I can take that infinite moment, hold it in my hands, and show it to people who may or may not know that feeling and be moved by it. I want people to see what I see whenever I have my eyes open or closed. I want them to feel at least a bit of what I feel in that infinite moment because I know everyone has those moments, they just forget about them. They don't savor each millisecond enough. Maybe because they are late for a meeting. Maybe because their child spilled hot chocolate on the couch. Maybe because they realized that they are a day late with paying their bills. Maybe because the mundane routines of life interrupts us from feeling the capacity of what human beings are able to feel. Nevertheless, this is why I chose photography. Because I want that infinite moment to be frozen and caught in an image. No matter how many years pass and people forget about their infinite moments, at least they'll have it in photographs.
