Some time ago Dazed & Confused published an interview with Nan Goldin. She talked about inspiration, how movies have always been great source of inspiration for her, mentioning specially Lars von Trier and his movies.

Inpired by this I thought to write something about inspiration.

Back in late 90’s Nan Goldin herself was my strongest source of inspiration. That was an era of more personal approach in photography for me. I had an identity of documentarist even then, but was also on a phase of searching big things.

Like what it is and what it should to be a human, man, a person related to other persons. Things like that. Did I find what I was looking for? I’m not sure. But I did some photos that satisfy my eye still, over ten years later. I think I should be thankful to Nan Goldin…

When I was planning the portfolio pages at October 22 I went through some of the older work of mine. Some of which have been stored for years without a single look at them. And strange or not, I noticed that many of the older images were still interesting and fresh – even more than many present photos.

I think I’ve been kind of lazy lately. I’ve become a snapper. Guess I’ll need something or someone to inspire me again to become a photographer again.
