Living the present, predicting the future


I'm walking the sidewalks of these streets of nowhere. Nobody recognizes me, nobody knows who I am, no one sees me. I'm camouflaged. Walking through the crowd with my worn black sneakers with headphones in your ears, listening to songs that make me think, traveling or want to dance. Viva anonymity! Experience the freedom to come and go without having to give explanations or satisfaction! If I knew that life would be so simple, would have been born before.

I like walking and remain unknown. For the time being. I like being able to hide in broad daylight. I like to photograph the special images that appear in front of me, without having to have reasons to do it. No cause greater than my will. There is a stronger motive than this? We are rational, but we forget that we are animals too and that many times the instinct to control. I am proud to say I'm rational, but chose to be untamed own free will. And out of respect for some instincts that I have inside.
Even all that loving feeling of being anonymous, I have to admit I do not want to be anonymous at all times. Just a moment I want to be as visible and clear as neon lights, and this moment will be when you pass me by on the sidewalk one day, in any country whatsoever, in any one street. I want you to see me and that put an end to my hopes, because I'm waiting for you long ago. I will always wait. Because something inside me says it's taking so long is because surely this world will be an extraordinary meeting and more than special. And great moments need time to be prepared. There are many details to take care. But no matter how long it takes all this preparation, because it always gets the opening day.
I'm sure the day you see me, by chance not so casual as well, I'll be with the headphones in my ears listening to "The dog days are over." And will this time we will look deep into her eyes and then nothing else is equal.
