“I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking. Recording the man shaving at the window opposite, and the woman in the kimono washing her hair. Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed.”
– Christopher Isherwood, Goodbye to Berlin

Hey, thanks James. I am in Dorset. I wonder which interesting place you are visiting right now. It’s pretty inspiring to travel isn’t it. I wish blogging had been around when I travelled. It’s such a cool medium for touching the world with light…keep up beaming brother! P <3
Love Dorest! Used to go all the time as a kid. ..I’m at home in Kent for the next few weeks before heading back off to W. Africa for a couple of months. Indeed, blogging has been an utter blessing. Thank you for connecting.. To the Stars! JX
