There are moments when I want to slow things down. I stare and imagine that moment on hold. It is like when someone says psst, and you stop and listen for this short while. Afterwards, things continue in their usual way. Some images continue to hum though.

Taking photographs is one way of creating a sense of continuity in this life. Photographs never end. But perhaps new images can stop the old ones from haunting us.
