"Of course [photography] cannot create, nor express all we want to express. But it can be a witness of our passage on earth, like a notebook."

My art feels like it's real disobedient. I can fill notebooks with observations and maybe they find their way into the work unconsciously, which is great. I've never been able to directly plug, like to take a little snip that I've picked up on the street and transfer it into a story. I don't know what's wrong, but it never works that way.
