Artist's Comments

After us,
may all rivers overflow
and all earthquakes come to ground.
May the earth shudder hard
may all buildings shake
and all bridges tremble.
After us,
may all sirens sound and cry
and all cannons fire away
spreading chaos north and south.

May all statues
lose their limbs
and all temples turn to ruins
with three pillars
not more [not even ceilings]
because
after us
only a river’s roar can muffle
the opaque sound
of a stubborn systole
that insists and keeps on
beating
slowly,
mournfully and heavily
in your name
and after us.

- w.d.s. [After us]

don't fuck up the best things in your life

This is just... amazing work.
I love the beginning, the images are so clear...so real... so raw... with each frame however, the clarity dissolves, the emotion begins to take over in desperation.. until at last...the world... is blurry... incoherant... like static on a radio... or blank pages of a diary when you just have lost the words..

I love this.. the colors the starkness... the words you used...
I felt like crying reading the words... seeing the images.. because we have all been there at the last moments .. to last gasp... the death rattle I guess some would call it.

Photography does not usually make me shiver...but yours does.

I cannot see a thing in this that needs to be changed.
:heart: Great work

This made me cry a little. When I first full-viewed and scrolled down through the pictures without trying to assign a situation or a meaning, I felt overwhelmingly sad.

The more I look, the more stories these pictures tell. A break-up and a heart-break, a desperate need for support, loss, a funeral, walking out and not looking back, footprints, guilt...the focus always so carefully placed to gently show you where to look first, what words to give to each goodbye.

I know this is an unconventional critique, barely a critique at all. I have no suggestions or criticisms. This is so personal and so meaningful. And that makes it truly perfect in my eyes.

It's not the camera, but the photographer that "makes" the image;)
