时光似水，总是无言，若你安好，便是晴天

无论时过境迁斗转星移，回过头看到那个人还在那里。 彼此微笑，无言却胜过千言万语。

Photographing Through Love and Grief with @ianwillms

To see more photos by Ian Willms, follow @ianwillms on Instagram.

A few emotional pictures became the start of a photographic odyssey for Ian Willms (@ianwillms). Seven months ago, Ian’s father was in a motorcycle accident in South Africa. “When I first got there, he was unconscious so I was very hesitant to take pictures of him. I took one or two just with the intention of keeping them for myself and for my own understanding of what happened,” says Ian, who is a freelance photojournalist.

As his father recovered and became a willing participant, taking pictures took on a more profound purpose. The camera allowed Ian to find expression for feelings of shock, sadness, isolation, love, and ultimately anguish. On May 20th, Ian’s father unexpectedly passed away. Even amidst this grief, Ian continues to photograph. “After he died it just became about his presence in things and places,” Ian says. “Maybe the act of making something out of it will be therapeutic,” he adds. “I’m hoping to photograph it for as long as I feel like I’m going through it. I think that’s an important thing.”

just some bullshit

Wouldn’t it be nice to get close to you a little more?

I thought that I nearly capture it however it seems so unattainable, untouchable even though I know it’s going to be unrequited.

We are bounded by energy  pull apart by destiny.

wouldn’t it be nice to get close to you a little more?

After all, just vulnerable bubbles.

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism." - (Two-time Congressional Medal of Honor recipient) Smedley D. Butler

“I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.” ― Julie Delpy, Before Sunrise & Before Sunset: Two Screenplays

King of Cups, ReversedWatch out for a reversed King of Cups – it can indicate a man with deep insecurities who may be drawn into toxic relationships, and may be prone to depression. Sometimes this is a person in a position of power, who has no problems at all with stepping over underlings to stay on the top. Be careful, because this person can be crafty and ruthless, and even abusive. Make sure he doesn’t take advantage of you, physically, financially, or emotionally.

Moody blues

The Day Begins (Redwave, Knight) Cold hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colours from our sight Red is gray and yellow, white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion

Pinprick holes in a colourless sky Let insipid figures of light pass by The mighty light of ten thousand suns Challenges infinity and is soon gone Night time, to some a brief interlude To others the fear of solitude

Brave Helios, wake up your steeds Bring the warmth the countryside needs

The moon card

I think I have done about 10 films that have shot within one minute or five minutes of where I live in Hong Kong. That is why I can’t leave, that is why I have to stay there. Chungking Express is actually shot in my apartment. […] The bloody film was shot in my bloody apartment! (laughs) I should’ve stayed in a hotel. I’d be working all day and sleeping on the floor at night. We couldn’t mess up the set. The film’s very special in that way given the connection to my personal life…

The interesting thing is after the film—I guess it was the Hong Kong tourist board put out a map of film locations—for three of four years there’d be people following this map to my door. Especially Japanese tourists for some reason. They’d go on the escalator and look for the apartment. So, I’d be going off to work or to a bar and there’d be people waiting downstairs. Once I found kids literally on my doorstep wanting to go in.
