Contribute vs. Take

You either take from the moment.
Or you contribute to it.

Whenever I’m photographing an event, I’m aware of the impact of my presence.
There is no neutral, energy shifts when someone lifts a camera.

So I choose to add to the room, not just take pictures.

Careful not to pull anyone out of their zone.
Rather, help them step further into it.

Sometimes that may even look like irreverence.

The blurred middle finger in the foreground?
That’s not a mistake.
It’s participation.
