“Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky

It is a crazy book. Maybe I’m just getting older and care less about going mainstream than going for the truth out there. Once if you reached a point of total unity with the cosmos and understood –experienced– the true end goal of the Game of Life, that is, the healing of the matrix, one can be temped to go no holds barred into life. It seems that preaching the truth is the only thing rational to do.

I reached a point at 27 years old where I’m fed up with a system that reduces divine beings –human beings– into slaves... It is getting harder and harder to stay quiet, you know. There’s something about that age… I swear! Off the top of my head, I think of the founder of Reddit, Aaron Swartz (26 years old when he “committed” suicide), Chelsea Manning (26 years old when incarcerated), Edward Snowden (30 years old when he blew the whistle): they were all fed up of the system of control made to oppress and reduce freedom. 

The reason why my website is named The Most Beautiful World isn’t that I saw the most beautiful world. I saw darkness, evil and destitute. The darker the sky, the brighter the stars. The darker the world, the most beautiful it gets. This world is the most beautiful there is, and this life is the best gift that we were given. Through the darkness of our times, there’s always hope glimmering above the ocean. There’s always a river to go to – and watch its flow passing by. And it’s at the altar of stillness that we find the essence of the minimalist photographer, the inner peace that transcends every level of every worlds that we go through.

Sometimes the best pictures are taken by an iPhone (as to when your X-Pro1 battery is out)

…or a Samsung phone. (my X10 Fuji got stolen in Nepal)!
