Miguel Angel Bejarano on his series
"Photographic Prose: Poetic Visuals without Rhythm"
"When I was a teenager traversing through
troubling times, I thought the only way I could cope with life was to write --
transforming my state of mind into words. I would carefully craft poems
into songs with the help of my friends in a band. It helped to feel
detached from my own words while someone else sang them.
It was an indescribable feeling when people
would say that they loved a song I had written. When I touched someone
through my lyrics and they felt the way I did, I knew I wasn’t the only one who
felt that way. As I wrote about broken
hearts, deceptions, or illusions, I discovered a sense of completion and I
could move on, leaving that memory behind."
"Now, as an adult, I am less secure in
sharing my feelings, thoughts, and heartbreaks.
I dread being exposed and
vulnerable. But now, I let the camera be my vehicle for expression. My project, Photographic Prose: Poetic Visuals without Rhythm, is a visual
voyage into my deepest thoughts and emotions; a psychological journey of
sorts. In this venture I write my songs with photographs, without a
thought to rhymes or time signatures."
