Fall, Interfere, Light, Like, Place, Play

Cutting, Errors, Field, Hard, Self, Way

It wasn't even a matter of what I was photographing, as what had happened to me in the process.

I felt I was like the people running the camp --it didn't mean a thing.

Affinity, Detached, Heart, Objectively, Part, Play
