2,847 photos. None of them feel like mine.
My camera roll has 2,847 photos. Maybe twenty of them I actually made. The rest is something that just *happened*.
I photograph people in the moment they forget themselves. Mid-conversation. Laughing at something stupid. Staring at a phone. Those are the only honest photos, I think — the ones nobody posed for.
But even then: is it my photo? Or just a moment I stole?
My favourite photo in my camera roll is of a table with cold coffee, a half-eaten croissant and three cigarette butts in a beer can. I don't remember who was sitting at that table. But I remember exactly how that moment felt.
Maybe that's enough.
