General public Quote by A.D. Aliwat
““Anything shot for TV or magazines or a web article is fine for the general public, the people who weren’t there, but what I capture with my phone, that’s mine. When I look at it again later, I am looking at something that exists as a reflection of me and my experiences. When I share it with others, I am sharing me. We are not sharing the event.””
