a dreamer's wisdom - e.m. forster

Adventures do occur, but not punctually. Life rarely gives us what
we want at the moment we consider appropriate.

- E.M. Forster, A Passage to India

It's all about the sentences.  It's about the way the sentences move in
the paragraphs.  It's about the rhythm.  It's about the ambiguity.  It's
about the way emotion, in difficult circumstances, gets captured in
language.  It's about instants of consciousness.  It's about besieged
consciousness.  It's about love trouble.  It's about death.  It's about
suicide.  It's about the body.  It's about skepticism.  It's against
sentimentality.  It's about cheap sentiment.  It's about regret.  It's
about survival.  It's about the sentences used to enact and defend
survival.

Igor Termenón shoots gritty fashion spreads, which end up looking
like portraits, and therefore, characters.  His work seems like more than
interesting people showing off interesting clothes, but like people with
something to say, a story to move on to, in which they play a major role.

Be inspired.  Onward, writers, storytellers, and dreamers.
