• are, bure, boke #3 (Prague)

  Photography is painting with light! The blurs, the spots, those are errors! But the errors are part of it, they give it poetry and turn it into painting … If you want to be famous, you have to do whatever you’re doing worse than anyone else in the whole world.

• are, bure, boke #2
