"Marx reproached philosophy for only trying to understand the world rather than trying to change it. Photographers, operating within the terms of the Surrealist sensibility, suggest the vanity of even trying to understand the world and instead propose that we collect it."

Susan Sontag (via eduardoizq)

"A work of art is good if it has sprung from necessity. In this nature of its origin lies the judgement of it: there is no other. Therefore, my dear, I know no advice for you save this: to go into yourself and test the deeps in which your life takes rise; at its source you will find the answer to the question whether you must create. Accept it, just as it sounds, without inquiring into it."

Rilke (via eduardoizq)

Posting an instagram-filtered photo for a change. From an ongoing campaign shoot; yesterday's leg was shot mostly with the 22mm pancake on my upgraded EOS M mounted a Benro Transfunctional that can bend into the strangest angles. It's time for the small ones. :)

There there, baby Kurt. Masyadong mabigat ang dinadamdam mo, eh. Smile naman! :)

[donmichaelacelardeleon]

Oh, baby Kurt. You never cease to give me great joy. :) definitely worth the long wait. :)
