I have never really cared about subtle arrogance or stubbornness in other people's perception. Because I always know that it's never a core ingredient of their self. A tainted butterfly that could just flutter by.. accept and ignore.. and not let this inkling of negativity seep into their image. I think it's because I know that the people I truly know, are people that don't function upon fundamental flaws that I see in many others. That I accept the way they are composed to the world and that we fit together in different aspects of life. But over the past few months, I've been needing to establish myself and my voice. How my tone can affect others and what I want them to hear. This has inevitably lead me to feel annoyance and irritation at things that, frankly, I never used to give a shit about. Taking photos, I see things and I need them to work. I need the people in the photos to help me, and I recognise that is hard, for the subject, living up to an expectation that I can only conjure in my minds eye. Working with others, needing to extrapolate myself and come out of a zone that I can only enter. I need to stop this. I need to stop being arrogant. I like being the one that lives like everything else is moving and I'm just a observer.
