"(...) I know it from my experiences that I always link looking and being looked at with some famous scenes from certain movies. I even make my own movie while I'm seeing and being seen. (...) When I think of all those scenes, one stands out the most. It's the scene when I'm walking down the subway corridor to take the train. Most of the time, if there's not much to worry about in my mind, I'd be walking straight, confident –even if I'm not, at times– my eyes forward, chin up. I'd feel like I'm on a special mission and I'm kind of saving the world there. Somehow, the way to save the world is to look good to the eyes of the others. I feel like I have to make that scene worth watching. (...)"

from the paper I wrote for the Introduction to Visual Culture class last semester, on scopophilia.
