Love Taught Me to Put the Camera Down | Episode 9 - My Soulmate Named Adel

It was early 2006 when our plane landed in Mazatlán, one of our first real trips together, just the two of us. Adel brought a camera, and since photography had always meant something to me, you'd expect I'd never put it down. But somewhere in those early days, I stopped. Adel noticed before I did. When she asked me why, I sat with it for a long moment before the answer came: every time I looked through the viewfinder, I was framing the moment for someone else, and I lost the sense of being there with her. I didn't want anything between me and being fully present. Not even a lens.Subscribe on Spotify or Apple Podcasts so you never miss an episode.
