Be captured.
My grandfather was one of these people who would almost never appear in videos or photos, because he was always the one taking them. Looking at a long history of family captured, one could think he'd not been part of it - he's just never visible.
These days I feel like my grandfather. While I've been documenting life through my eyes for quite a while, there's very rarely a picture of me in the scene. Part of the reason is, obviously, I hate being photographed and I am unnatural in front of cameras. The other reason might be that, when on the run, everyone just counts on me to capture it all. Plus, I take documentary photos but almost never photograph the process of travelling itself, it's just not as striking for me.
In India, our friend and neighbour Rosie travelled along with us, and hey, besides lovely company and a helping hand with mini-me (and intense English lessons for him all day/every day), she also did this: she captured us as a family with her camera. And because that's so rare, it's so special. Thank you, Rosie!
