Speech

You see a world to explore and preserve and tell about.
For those who have seen it, it’s just not possible to shut their eyes.
There is no way back
.”

Quote from the film Everlasting Moments (“Maria Larssons eviga ögonblick”) by Jan Troell;
said when the main character Maria, for a moment, regrets the changes brought to her life by a camera.
(my very own translation)

I do believe in those words. But there are moments when a fear comes upon me;
a fear that pictures will stop coming my way.
It is not so much a fear of becoming blind, as of becoming
mute.

    I wouldn’t know, as I’m mute-less currently
