" Suddenly a few good images fitted for a sketch or voodle strike me, delicate visual hits of which I have (almost) never before found the equal. I immediately start recording. I lie and edit these bits of captured footage for myself, and find that they are capital. Little by little others come and fit themselves to the preceding ones. I grow keenly wakeful. It was as if a vein had burst in me; one sequence follows another, and they fit themselves together harmoniously with telling effect.[...] a wonderful sense of pleasure empowers me. I voodle as one possessed, and edit yet another post, without a moment's pause."

" It is a rule of life that we can, and should, learn from everyone. There are solemn and serious things we can learn from quacks and crooks, there are philosophies taught to us by fools, there are lessons in faithfulness and justice brought to us by chance and by those we chance to meet. Everything is in everything. In certain particular lucid moments of contemplation, like those of early afternoon when I observantly wander through the streets, each person brings me a novelty, each building teaches me something new, each placard has a message for me."

While paraphrasing a fragment from Pessoa's Book of Disquiet, found fitting for his urban ramblings, Sam Renseiw encounters fresh street-art in the making and an inconspicuous collision just a moment later.
