Camera as a Connector: Part 1


Paccarik asks permission before taking a photo because it's not his life to put out there on the internet. Its not his place to put peoples business out there, unless they want him to and don't mind. When he says "not to steal a moment in someone's life" he means he doesn't want to ruin a moment in their life or intrude. Paccarik tries to find people that he can relate to and that he connects with, because he went through the same thing when growing up. He films negative because it's the reality of what really goes on within the locations he photographs. His process is different because he takes a lot longer to take the pictures so he can actually absorb the moment and what's happening. In Peru, he emphasizes the life within the copper mines and compares them to daily life in Richmond or the other places, and stresses the contrast of the ways of life. The camera is a connecting point because it is what captures the moments and gives the ability to be able to share and show the different images from all over the world.
