Short Hope/Long Hope

“I smoke, every day, a brand of cigarettes called “Short Hope” – not “long hope”. It isn’t possible through photography – the act of shooting – to grasp the entirety of the world in one stroke, so day by day, I work with the short hope, and through that I continue to hope to capture the entirety of the world, and to continue to live.”
