“It seems to me it’s a photographer’s duty to try to put an idea into his or her work. In this photo I have tried to express what seems to me one of the strongest proofs that there probably isn’t a god, in which Dawkins believes, namely that ‘the existence of God is a scientific hypothesis like any other.’ It is certainly in the finitely touching expression of a young man, which he himself was conscious of, when he is sat quietly in the corner by the heater. At the same time, there is something humble, something sublunary, which is that he is destined for the worms. This is far from all theology, simply the fact that the poorest little barista or bike messenger can have moments of emotion and inspiration that give him or her a feeling of an eternal home, and of being close to it.”
