I photograph
Walls, cables, lines, bricks, textures, people, windows, reflections, shadows, depth, perspective, simplicity, chaos, details, overview, inside, out there, in front, underneath, passing by, the invisible, the abnormalities, the elusive, to remember, to collect, to be fascinated, to place, to frame, to cut, to work, to manipulate, to enjoy its naturalness.
I write
To think. To ignore ninety percent of my thoughts, to focus on the important ten. I write to order. To collect. To try and understand. I use language to try to tell myself how, why, and when. The sentences are not finished. Grammar is unimportant since I got divorced from the strict language rules. Thoughts move quickly, I have to catch them before they are gone. I just write. English. Dutch. Scribbles are equivalent to the 'finished'. I like to read and listen. But I don't, I just dream away. I'm sorry. I wasn't listening. I was thinking for myself, shape my own words out of yours.
Writing we do by hand. Or with a tool. A typewriter? We have our own handwriting. Our own favorite paper. Letters to friends or the dog. Just notes. A word somewhere. To fossilize our thoughts. My ideas.
