I am but one small instrument
He said
As humans, we are subjected to an overload of sensory stimulation every second of everyday. We are bombarded with millions upon millions of images and sounds among other things. Yet, we can only comprehend so much as things actually happen. There's just so much to take in, even when things seem calm... and that's when I take pleasure in it most. You hear and see and feel the most incredible things when nothing is really happening. The things that are the most common occurrences can become events of such magnitude that seem as if they could have taken years to orchestrate, and who's to say that they didn't? Things move through my head too fast for me to get them down on paper at times and just end up manifesting themselves in dreams that only make sense to me. When you spend enough time watching, listening and thinking about things, you can almost transcend to a place where you can believe in anything. It's things like this that keep me from ever being bored with being alive.
My name is Jacob. I find myself behind a camera or a computer screen a lot, trying to capture these moments.
