Not interested in stories.
Interested in what remains between them.

Being still has weight.
It feels heavier when you’re avoiding things.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

I look for things that are almost gone.
The obvious stuff is already taken.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

Silence isn’t passive.
It’s actively not participating.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

If you’re totally confident, don’t take pictures.
Photography is for people who aren’t sure.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

Light is about restraint.
You don’t need to see everything.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

Places speak when you stop naming them.
Labels mostly get in the way.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

Noise is usually insecurity.
Calm down. We know you exist.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

A photograph is a pause pretending to be art.
Basically a stop button you didn’t ask for.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

Ambiguity isn’t a flaw.
It’s just how things actually are.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

I don’t explain my photos.
Confusion is closer to real life anyway.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

Light shows distance, not objects.
Usually more distance than you’re comfortable with.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

The city shows itself when you stop questioning it.
Stop interrogating it. It’s not lying.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

Standing still reveals things you missed.
Mostly because you were too busy running around.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

Photos fail when they try too hard.
Like people. Same problem.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

While everyone is making plans,
silence arrives first.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

I’m not interested in stories.
I’m interested in what’s left when the story ends.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

Space begins where wanting stops.
You give up, and suddenly there’s room.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

Architecture is just stuff placed in the way of light.
It’s like furniture for the sun.

[Shlomi Kramer @shlomi]

Language disappeared.
Punctuation remained.

You don’t need to understand something to feel it.
Thinking about it too much usually ruins it anyway.
