At some point during my travels, I had a slight change of focus which would end up defining the rest of my career. I began taking pictures of people. In addition to all the buildings, street signs and fire hydrants, I started photographing some of the interesting humans that passed by me on the street.

Possibly because I grew up not feeling very confident about my own physical appearance, I developed internal devices so that I could integrate into society.
My habit of glorifying things far away in space and time, also contributed to my social isolation.
I do expose my body, but only because I think people should have something nice to look at.

I used to wear disguises, like hats and false beards, just to walk around and avoid attention.
