Agent M photographed.



For some time i have been looking at this photo on my desktop, taken of my shadow quite by accident one day while i was out walking the streets of Guanajuato. It occured to me this morning after my swim here in Playa that images are suspended, frozen representations of movement. An eternal flow of light and shadow that is constantly changing. Photography connects you with the play of light & shadow within this movement , and seems to be a symbol for me at least, of our existence. Solidity is only a perception, like a photograph a fleeting representation of something that has not existed in any permanent sense at all. Like this shadow it is not really me.
