I remember when I showed my (street) photographs to my mother, she asked me a bit disappointed.
- But you're not in any of the photos?
-Of course, I'm the photographer, mom, not the one being photographed," I answered her.
-Well, you have very nice pictures, but I want to see you in the pictures, not these people," she said with a mother's love and sorrow.

Since then I always look for a scene in which I can appear and participate in the photograph.
