Când oamenii pe care îi fotografiez se întâmplă să fie îndrăgostiți sau bucuroși, energia lor îmi face bine. Dacă trăim împreună niște momente speciale, viața mea e mai bogată. Iar când văd în jur zeci de oameni care petrec, îmi dau seama că sunt într-un loc și într-un timp foarte bune, că istoria este blândă cu noi și că trebuie să fim conștienți de norocul nostru.
Nu e un gând recent. La aproape fiecare petrecere pe care o fotografiam aveam momente în care mă uitam la oamenii îmbrăcați frumos cum dansează, glumesc, beau, flirtează, cântă, se îmbrățișează și mă bucuram să îi văd așa, mă bucuram că sunt cu ei. Nu a fost și nici nu va fi așa bine oricând și oriunde – lucru pe care acum, în straniul episod al autoizolării, începem să îl conștientizăm toți mai clar. Vremurile de liniște și de prosperitate nu sunt nesfârșite, așa că atunci când sunt, trebuie apreciate, savurate, sărbătorite.
A fost cu adevărat un privilegiu să fotografiem nunta Georgianei și a lui Robert. Atâta dragoste, atâtea emoții, atâta energie bună, atâția oameni acolo pe care să îi privești cu drag și să fii recunoscător că ești tocmai lângă ei! Este o bucurie în sine pentru noi că există aceste fotografii și altele asemenea, pentru că ele surprind o parte luminoasă a vremurilor noastre. Istoria nu este făcută doar din războaie și pandemii, ci și din perioade de pace și din micile istorii ale celor care nu conduc state. E bine că păstrăm, pentru a privi mai târziu, momentele de fericire, pentru că asta înseamnă că le înțelegem valoarea și nu le luăm for granted.
