Infrared Photography Quotes

What sweet nectars and scents would emerge once the depths of your essence are revealed.

To me, infrared photography is not a special effect like some Instagram filter, it's a different way of looking at photography and light and the world itself.

Your touch is soft, but your gaze is intent personified.

Your eagerness betrays your patina of somber patience. Your desire unfolds with but a gentle touch.

Vanity is by far my favorite of all sins, and the camera lens is the ultimate vanity mirror. The camera captures all moods and nuances; immortalizes the soft and silky continuum that is humanity. Those still life moments seem so fluid, so representative of continuity. They are a single moment captured, yet an eternity expressed. All your youth; all your ages, captured and expressed in a single click. Of all the indulgences, vanity is certainly my favorite which we should otherwise resist, but are inexplicably captivated by and addicted. What other animal would spend so much time pouting and preening for its reflection? Only humanity would participate in such self-adoration. You would think we have the most colorful feathers or softest of manes. Rather, we are a naked biped that feels incomplete without some decorative element, accessory, or embellishment of the self. We are intoxicated by the image of the body, no different than we are seduced by fine wines, foods, or mind altering elements. We devour the skin, and peel away clothes as if they were the skin of some tropical fruit, covering a colorful and juicy interior. We hunt for bodily pleasures, and collect them as prizes; show them off in social situations as if our companions were some sort of extended adornment to ourselves. We are revealed in our sensuality. To touch beneath the surface; to connect beyond facades, that unattainable discourse between individuals is put tentatively within reach in intimacy. To capture those moments is to capture the essence of what makes us human, and what ultimately sets us above and aside from the rest of nature. Capturing humanity in its most extravagant expressions is intoxicating. Vanity is by far my favorite sin, and it is an endless tale as infinite as humanity. Every person is but a stitch in a giant tapestry.

Veo presentimientos y presagios. . . Desde el amanecer hasta el atardecer en tus ojos.

La vanidad es, por mucho, mi pecado favorito, y la lente de la cámara es un espejo. La cámara capta todos los estados de ánimo y los matices; inmortaliza el continuo suave y sedoso que es la humanidad. Esos momentos capturados parecen tan fluidos, tan representativos de la continuidad. Representan la captura de un único momento y, sin embargo, la expresión de una eternidad. Toda tu juventud; todas tus edades, capturadas y expresadas en un solo clic. De todos los caprichos, el de la vanidad es sin duda mi favorito, al que deberíamos resistirnos, pero al que nos sentimos inexplicablemente cautivados y adictos. ¿Qué otro animal pasaría tanto tiempo haciendo pucheros y acicalándose frente a su reflejo? Sólo la humanidad participaría en tal auto-adoración. Se podría pensar que tenemos las plumas más coloridas o las melenas más suaves. En cambio, somos un bípedo desnudo que se siente incompleto sin algún elemento decorativo, accesorio o adorno del yo. Nos embriaga la imagen del cuerpo, de la misma manera que nos seducen los buenos vinos, las comidas o los elementos que alteran la mente. Devoramos la piel, y nos despojamos de la ropa como si fuera la piel de alguna fruta tropical, que oculta un interior colorido y jugoso. Cazamos placeres corporales, y los coleccionamos como premios; los exhibimos en situaciones sociales como si nuestros compañeros fueran una especie de adorno añadido a nosotros mismos. Nos revelamos en nuestra sensualidad. Tocar debajo de la superficie; conectar más allá de las fachadas, ese discurso inalcanzable entre individuos se pone tímidamente al alcance en la intimidad. Capturar esos momentos es captar la esencia de lo que nos hace humanos, y lo que en última instancia nos coloca por encima y al margen del resto de la naturaleza. Capturar la humanidad en sus expresiones más extravagantes es embriagador. La vanidad es, por mucho, mi pecado favorito, y es un cuento interminable tan infinito como la humanidad. Cada persona no es más que una puntada en un gigantesco tapiz.

Turn away, if you can. Return you will with hunger peaked and primed.

Your gaze betrays the willingness in your heart.

One smirk, and you disassemble my armor.

One sleepy day and the casualness of your erotic heart plays like a tune emerging from the backdrop.

I could look into your eyes for the rest of my life and never get bored.
