What do I photograph?

Up till now I have photographed a large variety of subjects, although, some of them belong to specific themes. I work whenever I feel inspired to and since that can be any moment, I carry my camera all the time. In a way, I'm a hunter-gatherer. I collect "pieces of time", the images of space. I use photography to abstract reality as I see it and is my intention to expose the significative of it and not just the concrete. However, there is something I pursue and that is to photograph in a casual way. I hardly arrange or stage what I picture, and I don't have any preconceived ideas. I pick a subject, any subject that calls my attention at any given moment, prepare my camera, aim, and push the shutter. If it feels right, if it speaks for itself and asks to be contemplated nothing else matters. I just picture it, the essence of what I see.
