"I had a tendency to record and document events, partly born out of the nature of my job and partly because I felt that life was showing and teaching me things so fast that I knew no matter what I did, I was bound to miss much of it. I developed a particular urge to pause events, capture moments and take notes, before they expired forever.

 

Experiences were rushing past like landscapes on a speeding train. I, and the people who surrounded me were highly attuned to visual appearance. It wasn’t for the purpose of pretence or image, it was a real and vital identity. A decisive leap away from suppression and control. An escape from the authorities that hounded us all of our young lives.” - Steve Jansen
