Shai AshkenaziI choose to notice.

Black-and-white photograph: A figure in a prayer shawl walks away down a dark, blurred alley toward a bright light

The world moves fast.

Photography taught me to slow down.

To look longer.
To stay curious.
To notice what might otherwise disappear.

Attention is an act of love.

I don’t want people to remember my photographs.

I want them to leave looking differently at their own lives.

NOTICE.
