Photography / Street

if her name is diana
that that is purely a remarkable coincidence
and chances are we will never know
because i have no idea who she is
and she is barely recognisable from this portrait
she appeared so suddenly before my eyes
enough to shake me
and my camera
which incidently
is not a diana either
nor any kind of lomo

We'll never get to know the person by its portrait.. it's only a two dimension imprint of some external features. Sharp or blurred, doesn't make any difference. Random coincidence when you take a picture, 3dimensional when you exchange a few words..

whether they be words
or whether they be pixels
they never describe
only hint at
capture one aspect of a moment

we live in our own heads
most of the time
as individuals

and no matter how much we think we know
we know nothing
little at best

i am sick to death of living in a world run by people who think they know anything
let alone everything

chances are i will just have to live with that
until i die
and then everyone left will live with it
without me

if there is one thing that i can do with my life
it is to try to change that in some little way
to try to make it clearer that although we will never be equal as individuals
no one knows, nor understands
any more than any other

the inbalance
the dominance of some over others
for no reason other than qualification by birth or by purchase
is the problem

it is not enough to listen
we must listen to all and not just a selected few
fascism rules in that way
even though it never won the war

.... sorry i rambled out of context
