states are stopping points and stopping points are breaths stopping breathing looking and the presence of the image there, the image that is in fact your reality. and when you are there you know it, you can feel it . and if you ask yourself why you stopped there. you may not be completely sure. and so you make a photograph. the coordinates of the moment of presence. the state of things as they were. and hopefully it records something, traces of that state. and if your presence is truly open, truly democratic then it can transmit and another person can stop, in at another point and breath and look at it and this is another state they have made and the photograph is a prompt to this.
